Marathon Pipe Line and Safety
A petroleum pipeline, owned by Marathon Pipe Line (MPL), runs along both sides of Phillippi Street. As a result, ACHD has been working closely with MPL throughout the project development and has continued to do so to ensure that the highest safety standards are being maintained during construction. These safety standards include the Federal Pipeline Safety Standards adopted at 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and include regulations relating to design requirements, construction, pressure testing, operation, and maintenance (including maximum operating pressure, valve maintenance, pipeline repairs, pipe movement, over pressure safety devices, public awareness, damage prevention, and leak detection), qualification of pipeline personnel, and corrosion control. In addition, Idaho has established underground facility damage protection standards and requirements at Title 55, Chapter 22 to ensure any excavation is done safely and carefully, and with knowledge of the location of underground facilities such as the Marathon pipeline.
Additional steps being taken to ensure neighborhood safety:

This project will be constructed with the Phillippi, Targee to Overland Project.
Project Purpose
Project History
This project was first proposed in 2005, but proved to be unpopular with the public at the time (due to some now outdated right-of-way requirements) and was set aside. ACHD began updating the design in 2016 as it has been a long time request of the City of Boise.
