Texas Operations & Maintenance Template for RRC Compliance

In case you missed it in November, TPGA wanted to reshare this resource with its members. The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) requires the bulk plant, industrial plant, and pipeline LP-Gas systems with an aggregate water capacity of 10,000 gallons or more to meet the requirements of Chapter 15 of the 2017 edition of NFPA 58 and have an Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Manual. The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) has developed Operations & Maintenance (O & M) Manual. TPGA has updated the PERC manual to the 2017 edition of NFPA 58. While the manual covers operations of all sizes, it meets the requirements of NFPA and, ultimately, the Railroad Commission. How to use this optional template. It is as easy as 1.2.3.: 1) Download the TPGA version of the PERC Operations & Maintenance (O & M) manual. 2) Complete each of the forms within the manual that relate to your bulk plant operations. 3) Print the completed manual and put it in a 3-ring binder.


The RRC has also confirmed that the O & M Manual can also be stored digitally.
