Emergency Procedures Natural gas is lighter than air, colorless and odorless. At SDIP, we inject an odorizing agent to the gas we transport. This chemical gives the gas a “rotten egg” odor, and makes the gas readily detectable. 12/5/2018
Emergency Procedures If you should detect the odor of rotten eggs in the vicinity of the pipeline, we would ask that you take the following actions: Remove any sources of ignition (no smoking, matches or open lights) Move to a safe area Call our Toll-Free Emergency Number 12/5/2018
Emergency Procedures In the unlikely event of a pipeline leak, you may hear a hissing noise, or a loud wind sound, accompanied by the odor of rotten eggs. Again, follow the afore mentioned procedures, and do the following: 1) Evacuate the area in a 200 yard radius from the point of the incident. 12/5/2018
Emergency Procedures 2) Remove ALL sources of ignition (no smoking, turn off motor vehicles,) from the evacuated area. 3) Contact SDIP IMMEDIATELY. 4) DO NOT attempt to contain the leak, or operate any SDIP equipment. 12/5/2018
Emergency Procedures 5) If the emergency includes fire, DO NOT attempt to extinguish the fire unless there is immanent danger to persons, livestock or property. Remove persons and livestock from the area, and protect buildings. SDIP personnel will isolate and depressurize the damaged pipeline section. Secondary fires may be extinguished. 12/5/2018
