The 100-foot-wide pipeline ROW has two 8-inch crude oil pipelines that cross Platte County, Wyoming. The soil is composed of mostly sandy material. Wind erosion was blowing sand and removing cover from the pipelines, leaving the pipelines with shallow cover.
A 4-inch natural gas pipeline crosses Brush Run in Beaver County, Pennsylvania in a 40-foot wide right-of-way. The channel bed is composed of clay and rock, while the banks are composed of clay and sand.
A 10-inch natural gas pipeline crosses a tributary to Dilworth Run in Beaver County, Pennsylvania in a 25-foot wide right-of-way. The soil is composed of clay with rock in the channel bed and well-vegetated banks.
A 24-inch natural gas pipeline crosses Little Mulberry Creek in Chilton County, Alabama in a 50-foot wide right-of-way. The soil in the creek bed is composed of clay and sand, and the banks are well-vegetated with trees and grass.
A 10-inch diameter natural gas pipeline crosses a tributary to Big Blue River in Indiana. A headcut -- an abrupt drop in the bed of the channel -- developed in a small drain that flows into Big Blue River and has exposed the pipeline for approximately 11 linear feet and left it suspended for approximately 12 linear feet.
