Gas System Public Awareness This notice is to inform the residents of Coachland Park of the hazards associated with the propane gas pipeline system located within the Park and how to respond if a gas leak is detected. Please read the contents carefully. Our goal is to ensure that propane gas is provided to the residents for their personal use in a safe and reliable manner. The propane gas pipeline system in Coachland RV Park is owned, operated, and maintained by the Owner of the Park. The pipeline system is designed to distribute gas to the residents, which is commonly used for heating and cooking. The pipeline system also distributes gas to common area facilities for heating and cooking purposes. The gas pipeline system is operated and maintained by qualified individuals in accordance with the Parks Operations and Maintenance and Emergency Plan, which contains procedures for safely operating, maintaining, and monitoring the system. The California Public Utilities Commission inspects the gas pipeline system for compliance with the Federal rules and regulations. Gas can leak from pipeline facilities damaged due to corrosion, outside force, propane events, or equipment failure, etc. Because propane gas is a flammable commodity, gas leaks, under certain circumstances, have the potential to cause harm. The gas system is leak surveyed annually. All hazardous leaks are repaired. All main valves are inspected to ensure that they are operable. The gas system is patrolled on a routine basis to ensure that hazardous conditions such as atmospheric corrosion, improper care of discontinued services and customer lines, inadequate support of meters and pipeline components, etc., are noted and corrected. The Park has a Cathodic Protection System that protects the pipeline from corroding and this system is monitored on a routine basis to ensure its effectiveness. The gas pipeline is susceptible to damage due to outside forces such as those caused by excavation, vehicular traffic, or excessive loads placed on meter set assemblies. Restricted access to main valves and meter set assemblies could result in severe consequences in the event of an emergency. The greatest risk to underground gas pipelines is damage caused during excavation. Even a minor impact with the pipeline could cause a dent or damage to its coating resulting in a leak. Notify the Manger before you dig. Do not park vehicles near gas meters or pipelines that are not protected by barriers.Do not remove meter supports or place heavy items on top of meter set assemblies. Please inform the Manager of gas meters that are vulnerable to vehicular damage or need support. Residents should also notify the Manager of other potential hazards they notice. If you think there is a gas leak, call Ferrallgas 866-708-8209 or 911 promptly. Do not make the phone call from the area where the gas leak is present. Do not light items such as matches or cigarettes, or use any device that may generate a spark such as electrical switches, telephones (cell and land line phones), doorbells, automobiles or other engines, etc.Extinguish all flames and evacuate the building to a safe distance.
