The Arkansas Regulatory Partnership Program, ARPP, is a cooperative effort between 22 of our state's pipeline and gas companies and Arkansas One-Call to provide pipeline safety awareness information to emergency responders, public officials, and excavators.

First responders training sessions are coordinated at the county level in cooperation with local emergency personnel and ARPP. First responders that attend the training receive two hours of Continuing Education Credits from the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management for Hazardous Materials Awareness.

Public officials, especially those involved in land use decisions, receive information designed to bring attention to the presence of pipelines in their community. An emphasis is placed on awareness, land use planning, and damage prevention.

Call before you dig and safe excavation practices are the themes of excavator meetings facilitated by ARPP. Materials specifically designed with a focus on pipeline safety are also distributed annually to excavators. Excavation safety meetings, conducted by Arkansas One-Call on behalf of the one-call membership in addition to the pipeline members, provide ongoing and frequent opportunities to inform and educate the excavation community.

For additional information, please call Mike Gowen at the Arkansas One-Call Center at (501) 472-1005 and refer to the Arkansas Regulatory Partnership Program, or contact any of the participating pipeline or gas companies.
