Abstract

These data show the general location of pipelines within U.S. waters. The geographic footprint for each pipeline may vary and is dependent on the original source data. In the nearshore, pipelines are routinely buried below the seabed. In the offshore, they are placed directly on the seabed. A pipeline area may contain one or more physical pipelines. 30 CFR 585.301 defines a minimum 100-foot-wide right of way grant on each side of a pipeline.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1182800
Description:

1) Acquire source data by URL

2) Ingest to ArcGIS Pro and PROJECT to WKID 102008

3) Select and eliminate overlapping features

4) For polyline features, BUFFER with a distance of 100 feet, side type full, end type flat, and method geodesic

5) MERGE all polygon feature classes

6) PROJECT to NAD83 GRS 80

7) MERGE all polygon features

8) Removed background - donut hole polygons generally less than 200 square meters

9) Removed sliver polygons generally less than 10 meters in width

10) Removed outlier vertex elements
