PRAXAIR INC.'S CAPABILITIES IN THE EVENT OF A PIPELINE EMERGENCY

Praxair relies on the local/city emergency response teams to respond to pipeline emergencies such as a pipeline gas release, fire etc, requiring specialized equipment, EMS services, street closures, public crowd control, and other public safety functions. Praxair does not have these capabilities and is dependent on these public agencies for this support.

In the event of a pipeline emergency such as a gas release or fire, Praxair will isolate the pipeline segment by isolating and terminating flow and pressure and will assist local/city emergency response personnel with barricading the area if needed. Praxair will remain in communication with the emergency response team to provide safety critical information and technical support regarding pipeline conditions until the situation has been brought under control and the affected area(s) made safe.

Praxair’s Gulf Coast System Pipeline provides industrial gases (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) to refineries, chemical manufacturing sites, and specialty chemical companies along its network of pipelines from Lake Charles, Louisiana to the Port of Houston, and south to Free Port, Texas, and a second hydrogen pipeline from West Baton Rouge to Norco, LA. Specifically, Praxair has designed and installed the following features in order to reduce the impact of potential emergencies including:

1. Pipeline Business Center: Praxair’s PBC is located in Houston, Texas near Bush Intercontinental Airport. This control center monitors real-time data on our pipeline system around the clock, 365 days a year. A qualified team of controllers evaluate the operating conditions of pipeline gas distribution and remote support equipment. Key indicators include temperature, pressure, flow and many other parameters. As a single point of contact, all incoming calls from production sites, customers,

and from the community at large are answered and appropriate resources are dispatched.

Pipeline markers located along our pipelines, provide general location information about our pipelines, information about what products are transported by pipeline, and phone numbers to call in the event of a suspected leak or pipeline damage incident. Our trained personnel at the PBC can direct the appropriate resources and dispatch field personnel as needed.

2. Automatic Isolation Valves: Installed at various locations along our pipelines, these valves are configured and set to close automatically for the dual purpose of isolating on a pipeline break and to prevent mechanical damage from excessive pressure.

COMMITMENT

Praxair is committed to the protection of the public and the environment through the safe operation and maintenance of its hydrogen pipeline systems. Praxair's qualified personnel are trained in emergency response activities.

Praxair has committed the necessary resources to fully prepare and implement its emergency response plans to respond, to the maximum extent practicable, to a "worst case" discharge or substantial threat of such a discharge.

COMMUNICATIONS

Praxair utilizes its 24-hour Pipeline Control Center (1-800-926-9620) as a hub of communications in emergency response situations. On-site communications are conducted using cellular telephones with walkie-talkie and/or land-line telephone systems from Company facilities and offices.

INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM

Praxair utilizes an expandable Incident Command System. Depending upon the size and complexity of an incident, additional Company or contract personnel

may be added as needed. Additional federal, state or local agencies may be integrated into the Incident Command System by utilizing a Unified Command Structure.
