MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 8, 2002 McDonald indicated that the active pipeline has been completely located. Williams has not completely located the abandoned 6 -inch lines, specifically the depth of these lines. McDonald noted that where Preserve Trail crosses the pipeline, that area will all be hand dug.
