In 2004 and 2005, a group of city, county, state and industry representatives conducted a series of workshops throughout the state for local government officials, talking in particular with planning, permitting and public works sections. The purpose of these workshops was to exchange ideas and explore the range of tools available to manage and make effective decisions concerning land use in proximity to transmission pipelines.
This report is the product of that research.
