| Title: |
Conduct analysis before burying pipelines at channel crossings |
| Text: |
"The practice of burying pipelines at channel crossings likely is both cheaper and easier than suspending them above all flood flows; however, an analysis of channel degradation and scour should be completed to ensure the lines are not exposed and broken during extreme runoff events." |
