Submerged Pipeline Status Report

Coast Survey's mission is to help ensure safe naviga on for all vessels, regardless of size and purpose.
We need your help in updating nautical charts so we can continue to provide mariners with
information related to the locations and attributes of submerged pipelines.

* As-Builts:
Digital as-built surveys (e.g., shapefiles, geodatabase files, dgn files, dwg file, GeoPDFs, Excel files, csv files, xyz data) are preferred.
Un-georeferenced PDF files and hard copy surveys are acceptable if they are overlaid with a coordinate grid or tick marks.
For all as-builts, ensure that the coordinate system (projection, horizontal datum, and units) is stated in the as-built and/or is indicated
in the "As-Built Geographic Coordinate System" field below.
As-Built Geographic Coordinate System:
‡ USACE Permit: Provide a copy of the United States Army Corps of Engineers permit that authorized the pipeline activity.
§ ENC Graphic:
(a) graphic of the largest scale NOAA ENC® with the feature circled. We suggest using the NOAA Online ENC Viewer
found at: https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/enconline/enconline.html (zoom in to see the most detailed data available)
(b) Latitude/Longitude marking the location of the charted pipeline; see the field located near the top of the form
¶ Removal Statement:
If you are submitting this form requesting that a pipeline be considered for removal from applicable charts, please note that NOAA
will require an official statement on company letterhead stating that pipeline removal has been completed as permitted. This
statement should be included as an attachment prior to submission of this form using the "Attach" button below.
Upon completion, please use the "Submit" button below to email this form directly to NOAA's National Ocean Service, Marine
Chart Division. If email is not an option, hard copy printed forms and any supplemental information may be mailed to:

When a pipeline that falls within a charted pipeline area (or pipeline and cable area) is removed, the National Ocean Service (NOS)
cannot delete the charted area without being certain that NO additional pipelines or cables are located in that area. To remove a
charted area, NOS cartographers will need to do extensive research to ensure that NOS did not receive information about other
utilities that fell within those limits. To that end, any information regarding the status of additional utilities in such an area would be
useful.
All pipeline data that NOS receives is subject to charting policy. There is no guarantee that NOS will add, revise or delete an
individual symbol or area for one or more navigational products. NOS shall remain the final authority for charting any submarine
pipeline that it considers to be potentially hazardous to marine navigation regardless of other recommendations.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions regarding this inquiry, please contact the Nautical Data Branch via email at
ocs.ndb@noaa.gov. Please be sure to include the USACE permit number in the subject field.
