| INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT |
| McChord Pipeline Co. has implemented an Integrity Management Program to ensure safe pipeline operation in accordance with Federal Regulations. An internal inspection tool (also known as a smart pig) was used to inspect the pipeline in 2009. Based on the results, the pipeline can operate safely until the next internal inspection in 5 years. The pipeline will be internally inspected again in 2014 as part of the ongoing Integrity Management process. |
| The pipeline was pressure tested in 1996 to verify its strength. Due to the low stresses on the pipeline, another pressure test is not required for decades. |
