Battle heats up over gap in federal pipeline rules 

by Mike Soraghan, E&E News (December 23, 2021) – Pipeline Safety Trust’s Caram bristles at that assertion, saying it “ignores the fact that just three years ago 3-year-old Delaney Tercero was killed by an explosion from a 10-inch diameter gas gathering pipeline while inside her home in Midland, Texas.” “The industry continues to hamstring progress,” said Bill Caram, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust. Delaying and chipping away at the rule, he said, will allow industry “to continue to get away with negligent practices, which will continue to lead to the loss of life in our rural communities and unconscionable amounts of methane leaks further destabilizing our climate.”
