Boxer, Feinstein Ask For Federal Investigation Of Pipelines

California's senators called Monday on federal regulators to order inspections of all interstate natural gas pipelines in the state, with a priority on those that run near residential areas.

In a letter to the administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein wrote: "Californians must feel confident that their communities are safe and that the regulatory agencies responsible for maintaining natural gas pipelines are doing everything possible to guarantee their safety. It is critical that the public's confidence is restored and that utilities are held accountable for the safety of their pipelines."
