Abstract:

The Oil and Oil Product Pipeline coverage provides mapped locations and routes of pipelines carrying crude oil or refined oil products. It also includes an ordered database of information linked to the mapped pipelines. This pipeline coverage helps to bring such areas within the Ohio counties of Mahoning, Columbiana, Jefferson, Belmont, Monroe, Washington, Athens, Meigs, Galia, Trumbull, and Lawrence; the West Virginia counties of Brook, Cabell, Hancock, Jackson, Marshall, Mason, Ohio, Pleasant, Tyler, Wayne, Wetzel, Wood; the Penn- sylvania counties of Beaver and Lawrence; and the Kentucky county of Boyd, to the attention of spill planners and responders. The locations of the pipelines were obtained using maps provided by the pipeline owners or operators.

Purpose:

In order to better protect unique commercial, environmental, and cultural resources from oil spills, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 mandated a coordinated effort by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies and the regulated community to enhance oil spill preparedness and response. This coverage provides the location and attached data for the 26 counties of the Eastern Ohio River Mapping Area along both sides of the river. The development of spatial databases and geographic information systems is done pursuant to implementing the preparedness and response mandates of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.

Supplemental_Information:

These data were prepared at map scales of 1:24,000 and are best used in applications of comparable resolution. In addition, these data were developed to meet specific project objectives related to contingency planning and spill response and therefore may not represent exhaustive feature inventories.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Great Lakes Commission staff working on the Area Contingency Planning project verified all descriptive and spatial attributes and collected confirmation from owners or operators of attributes and location via surveys or direct external review. Quality assurance and quality control for the data were developed utilizing in-house standard operating procedures.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Through the use of surveys and/or direct external review, the Great Lakes Commission staff working on the Area Contingency Planning project collected data confirmation from owners and/or operators of all attributes and boundaries. The Great Lakes Commission staff also verified all descriptive and spatial attributes. Spatial data were cross-referenced with multiple sources.

Completeness_Report:

This coverage does not necessarily include all potential spill source oil and oil pipeline facilities within the Eastern Ohio River Mapping-area. Exhaustive efforts were made to compile as thorough an atlas as possible, with particular in depth detail paid to those areas in proximity to surface waters. However, under-reporting may occur with smaller local and non-reported pipelines.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual comparison of hard copy check plots to the source materials and verifying the location of the data on screen relative to other data layers in the same geographic area.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Initial pipeline owner/operator data were obtained from a database provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety. The information provided by the database allowed for the identification of pipeline owner/operators with major oil and oil product transport lines, excluding on-site piping systems and transfer lines, in the mapping area. A request for maps and an oil pipeline survey were sent to each identified pipeline owner/operator for the collection of locational information and the attached database information for the oil and oil product pipeline coverage. Additional information on the pipelines was collected through telephone conversations with pipeline owner/operators. Line shapefiles for each pipeline recorded in the database were entered directly into ArcView version 3.1 Geographic Information System (GIS) software and displayed against Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) imagery of 1:24,000 scale U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. Data links were incorporated into these GIS files to match the mapped pipelines to appropriate data records providing contact, locational, commodity, and commentary information. Draft hard copy atlases were prepared form this data, supplied by the Great Lakes Commission, and the USGS's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in Onalaska, Wisconsin. The UMESC produced hard copy maps in portable document files (.pdf) format at scales of 1:25,000 and 1:100,000. These maps were then reproduced and distributed by the Great Lakes Commission for external review by primary source data holders. All updated, corrected and amended information was then added to the project files and returned to the UMESC for final atlas preparation. UMESC processed the final data for distribution in hardcopy and electronic formats.
