If you are wondering why the SB sent me to Boston, its part of their secret subversive plan for Red Sox domination of Chicago! Metea/Eola is just the first step in the dastardly plan - to build a beach head in a community in Chicago. Once they build Metea at Eola, the basement will be used as a transmission center for mind-control waves (also EMF, I'm afraid) to make suggestible highschoolers ditch the Cubbies and start rooting for the Red Sox. The pipelines will be used as a waveguide to send these signals to southern communities, destroying the minds of Cub fans as far as the eye can see. Today Metea, tomorrow, all of Chicago Land! I was just doing my SB droid duties negotiating the royalties the SB will get with the Red Sox in Boston. So, sorry! No couch fixing! Only baseball game fixing! Cheers. Well, first off I will become a Red Sox fan when WV graduate Mike Bowden throws his first pitch in the "big show." Secondly, I think that the SB is targeting the wrong Chicago baseball fans. Chicago's American League fans seems to be the one's with the weaker minds. ;D I know I am going to get "HURT" for saying that !!!! BUT BRING IT ON !!! Dem's fightin' words, pilgrim! ;D

Player, in your pipeline research did you run across anything that limited the life span of pipelines like the ones on the MV property? I know you found that the pipelines built before 1950 were more problematic than those built later, but I am wondering if there is any kind of regulation that says they have to replace them after X number of years. If there isn't a regulation, is there a common practice (like Kindermorgan usually replaces pipelines once they are 75 years old)?

That may be because I haven't dug deep enough though. The federal and state regulations on pipeline safety require that the pipes be inspected (in a variety of ways and schedules) to establish that they are safe. If they are deemed unsafe, they have to be remediated, which may involve replacing them. I'll dig some more. I have not yet seen any explicit age at which the have to be replaced. Cheers.
