摘要：	Following an investigation in 1983 of a pipeline accident that resulted in six fatalities, four serious injuries, and considerable property damage, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Research Council undertake a study to "assess the adequacy of existing public policy for surface and subsurface use of land adjacent to pipelines that transport hazardous commodities to provide reasonable public safety," and "based on the findings of the assessment, develop a recommended policy to correct identified deficiencies in current policy." A TRB committee was formed for this purpose and addressed the following key issues: the nature and extent of existing and potential problems caused by development on land adjacent to liquids and gas transmission pipelines; the jurisdictional authority and ability of the federal government and state and local governments to address these problems; the strengths and weaknesses of existing governmental and industry policies and practices that encourage the use of land development procedures, damage prevention measures, and emergency response programs to enhance public safety near transmission pipelines; and the transferability of these approaches to different governmental and developmental contexts. This special report contains the results of the study. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 provides perspective on the magnitude and nature of pipeline safety problems. It includes a brief overview of the pipeline industry, the nature of pipeline accidents, and the safety record of the industry. The authority for government regulation of land use adjacent to pipelines and pipeline safety, as well as industry self-regulation, is discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is a compendium of policies and practices used by government and industry to address the issue of public safety near transmission pipelines. Specific practices are grouped by type; examples are provided; and, where possible, their effectiveness is assessed. Chapter 5 contains recommendations for strengthening existing policies and practices.
