4 Objective of the Gas Standardization Program To Implement a common set of Integrys Gas Standards that will ensure consistency of Engineering, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance Procedures while utilizing common Materials, Tools, and Work Practices 4

5 Primary Functional Areas Gas Standards Group Pipeline Safety Compliance Development Standards Work Practices Construction Configurations Implementation Materials 5

6 Organizational Chart Manager Gas Standardization Supervisory Engineer Pipeline Safety Compliance Supervisory Engineer - Research and Development Supervisory Engineer - Implementation Supervisory Engineer - Materials Coordinator - Gas Standards and Procedures Senior Engineer - Work Practices Gas Standards Specialist Associate Engineer - Materials Senior Engineer - Research and Development Coordinator - Implementation Coordinator - Materials 6

7 Development Process Process Initial Draft of Standard Created Governance Group approves Charter SME s assigned by Governance Group SME s engage business units for feedback Working meetings to disposition all feedback and gain SME consensus Engage business units to gain buy-in from SME cons Governance Group approves Standard to be implemented 7

8 Implementation Process Scope New and Updated Standards Materials and Tools Changes Change Management Manage change for all stakeholders Publishing Process/Document Control Manage Quarterly Release Process Manage access to documents for all stakeholders 8

9 Gas Operating Procedures Structure Integrys Gas Operating Procedures Standards Work Practices Administrative Directives Department Process Guidelines 9

10 The Training Connection Line of Sight from Code to Field Employee Federal & State Codes Field Manual Work Practices Field Employee O&M Manual Why? What? When? Less Why? More detailed what? When? How things are done at Integrys. The text book for training. 10

11 Standards Standards Facility driven standards O&M Manual Focus on compliance, fewer work practice type details Field Manual Incorporate Legacy and Industry Best Practices Will provide line of sight from Code requirements to work practices Link to Work Practices how-to details Common References Referenced from multiple standards Forms, Pictures, Tables, etc. 11

12 Standards Standards Company Wide Standards Legacy Standards & Procedures O&M Manual Field Manual Common Reference Materials MERC MGU NSG PGL WPS 12

13 Work Practices Work Practices Text book for training Covers the task specific details not identified in code materials Focused information provided Examples: pipe squeezing, purging approaches, venting of buildings, establishing controlled access zones, etc. 13

14 Work Practices Work Practices Company Wide Work Practices Legacy Work Practices MERC MGU NSG PGL WPS 14

15 Administrative Directives Administrative Directive Process, Guideline, Policy driven directive to field and or administrative personnel Company wide directives Business Unit specific directives Provide direction on how an overall process works and is used to control activities to support operations Examples: As-built drawings, pressure testing, main and service inspection records, etc. 15

28 Questions & Discussion 28

29 Appendix 1. EOP Approach Appendix 1. Emergency Operating Procedure Approach 29

30 EOP Background Each business unit has their own EOP Procedures for various Work Practices differs across the Integrys subsidiaries The need to standardize and improve EOP 30

31 EOP Objectives Integrys EOP to cover the entire organization Ensure compliance to State and Federal codes Consolidate all aspects of emergency response into a single standard Appropriate Work Practices developed to accompany EOP sections Appendices developed outlining Business Unit specific contact information 31

32 EOP Outline Table of Contents Objectives Common Section Receiving / Identifying / Classifying Emergencies Controlling the Emergency Emergency Shutdown/Pressure Reduction Incident Specific Sections Appendices (Company Specific) Incident Command System (ICS) Liaison Procedures Employee Emergency Training Investigation of Failures Notifications 32

33 EOP Outline Incident Specific Sections Odor Complaints and Blowing Gas Carbon Monoxide Floods Natural Disasters Fire/Explosions Relighting/Service Restoration Odorant Spill/Hazardous Material Release Cross-Bores Interruption of Gas Supply Propane Plant Procedures Gas Storage Field Procedures 33
