HomeMy WebLinkAboutC_Public_Comment_38.a_180430.email_attch5of5From: Todd Andersen & Jennifer Steinman & Ryan Andersen residents and homeowners at 4419 138th Ave SE Bellevue WA 98006.
 To: Jill Ding – Senior Planner jding@rentonwa.gov Department of Community & Economic Development (CED) Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Submitted April 30, 2018 to City of Renton Subject: The Massive fraud of PSE’s Energize Eastside Final Environmental Impact Statement. (EE EIS) and by EE, the active lying by EE EIS. Questions/comments on PSE Energize Eastside EIS and Pipeline Safety Reports and related for 2018 Attached: Expertise: Survivability engineer for the US Navy conducting the most advanced fuel fire protection testing to date on next generation Navy aircraft. Likely still one of the top five experts fuel fire suppression. Also highly trained for Long-term corrosion preparedness including stress corrosion which caused the William Pipeline explosion twice in WA in 2003. Comments/Requests 1. Request City of Renton formally request City of Bellevue step down as lead agency due to lying and physical suppression of facts by Carol V. Helland, , a City of Bellevue Attorney/employee, SEPA Responsible Official for Energize Eastside EIS, and Land Use Director. A a public meeting in Renton no less Carol Helland is caught lying and slapping a video camera out of a Bellevue resident’s hand trying to document the fraudulent and massively deadly nature of Energize Eastside being built on top of two jet fuel pipeline for nearly 18 miles. See video documenting taken by me on Youtube at https://youtu.be/RfxzAsxF45o City of Bellevue has a record of looking the other way on fire related events as those familiar with the City council overriding its building inspection for not approving the 2009 downtown high rise building which Expedia was all set to move into. Why none of the flues in the entire build had a fire rating. All swept under the rug but the building contractors remember the ethics of the City of Bellevue and Council. 2. A 2nd video showing active suppression of public recording of lies by PSE Energize Eastside EIS Team project manager (a Puget Sound Energy contractor from ESA) whose name I believe is Mark Johnson can be found at https://youtu.be/sahQeYpLsMg. This video shows a PSE Energize Eastside stating at a public meeting & presentation on EE EIS "I am not allowed to make any statements for public consumption to be filmed” Yet so vastly lying about the project that I decided to record EE EIS staff comments to the public at public meetings held by City of Bellevue and EE EIS contractor and PSE. 3. Request City of Renton extend its comment period again another 3 months as there are more than 2000 pg to go through and the EE EIS is written in such away to obstruct clarity and actively obfuscates. Doing fraud filled presentations and Q&A with experts and even not bringing them to just some locations unannounced; further preventing follow-up questions that can be documented on video of the lies being spun by PSE or PSE EE & EIS contractors. This above incident is also on video and need time document. 100’s of hours of recorded video by citizens with fulltime occupation and kids need to be processed and documented, having to do the work which should be done by our local Bellevue government. 4. PSE’s EE EIS has fraudulently limited pipeline incidents to 2012-to 2016. Why because a non fraudulent review of the record would detail the WA State pile line explosion of the William Company twice in 2003 . See detail in my prior submission for phase 2 EE EIS include as a Instead PSE fraudulently says incident in that time frame are not relevant (see pg4.9-9 of EE EIS pg294/451) “most recent data range under current rules (PHMSA, 2016)” with out specifying which rules and explaining why any preordained rules could cover colocation in highly dense city environment vs countryside NOT to mention the one-of-a-kind foolish the 18 mile continuous colocation (not just crossing ) of Jet fuel and high power lines currently at 115kV proposing to go to 230kV under EE. 5. PSE fails to show the one very deadly situation in Rent 6. Below details one of just dozens of the fraudulent presentation of a realistic results of a pipeline break by the construction and even more likely operation of Energize Eastside. The fraud nature of PSE’s EE EIS. PSE a convicted felon organization (2007) for falsifying pipeline safety records and then not even bother doing 40,000 safety inspections resulting in the 2016 Seattle Greenwood pipeline explosion. Let us compare what a 6 inch water pipeline break operating at 150 PSI in Somerset area of Bellevue and its spread to that what PSE’s EE EIS’s claims for a Olympic pipeline break carrying jet fuel/gasoline in 16” and 20” diameter at 850 PSI. See PSE’s Final EE EIS page 4.9-14 (page 299/451) A water pipeline break at ~1am Sept 17 2017 spilled roughly 10,000 gallons and was detected almost immediately by the City of Bellevue’s Water Dept’s SCADA . It traveled both above ground and for ~200ft under pavement on SE 46th St towards the intersection with 148th Ave SE Bellevue 98006. There the underground flow burst to the surface blowing away the curbs and gutters and over whelming more that 50 storm drains to travel over one mile north and one mile west, see separate doc for detailed pictures. In contrast PSE states that a 16” or 20” Olympic pipeline break will spill 372,162 gallons maximum. Given the 1999 Bellingham WA break of this pipeline spilled 237, 000 gallons per EE EIS (note once again PSE gives no specific reference to any accident report is given. They know doing so opens many more cans of deadly worms for the convicted felon organization called Puget Sound Energy. Below we will see what PSE says in the EE EIS and then compare that to a real 10,000 water spill. What PSE SAYS. Please note the Olympic pipelines only carry highly volatile distillate: jet fuel, aviation gas and auto gasoline....... no less volatile crude oil. PSE will have one believe that a break in the Olympic pipeline would magically pool in a small circle roughly 100 feet in diameter (the yellow circle below). I am going to ignore the ullage explosions that the storms drains will experience for months destroying them and possibly starting new fire. I will only focus on the massive mileS square conflagration should a BP pipeline break from stress corrosion cause by wind loads on lines being transmitted to the soil from 75 ft to 100ft steel pole with deep foundations and very very gently pushing on the pipeline which is just less than 10ft away. That very gentle stress is enough “energy” to significantly accelerate the chemical corrosion that was not happening with the even less energy being generated by wooden poles on space much closer together. Twice has high poles with wind loads from two circuit (6 lines) on one set poles not 4 as old: spaced 3 times farther apart yield massively higher energy for corrosion acceleration. 120 to 180 times FASTER corrosion. Math 8x1.5x3or2x5 (2xhigher poles)(4x four old poles replaces with one pole further concentrating load)(1.5x higher wind load from increase height)(2-3x for 2 to 3 times farther spacing of poles)(2x for two circuits)(2.5x for vertical placement 3 line per circuit vs current horizontal. This is deadly as BP owner of the Olympic pipeline only does PIG inspections (PIG=Pipe line inspection gages, and BP just does the cheap low resolution ones to boot, not to worry BP’s safety record is better than PSE) every 3 years an already very dangerous number. Accelerating stress corrosion not to be confused surcharge loading as PSE desperately tried to do in the EE EIS “potential for pipelines to be overstressed by surcharge loading from construction equipment.” Pg382/451. Thus the Energize Eastside will cause the Olympic pipes to break within a year of construction if not shorter! Now on to the fraud of PSE’s pool fires. The red semi translucent ovals are a rough outline of the area that will be burning if the Olympic pipeline breaks with in the first 20 minutes of the break which will be instantly ignited for the even the old corona discharge energy of the 115 kvolt line not to mention 230 kV. My old workplace The Naval Weapons Center and the world’s largest military research lab, shuts down all ordinance and fuel operations at 2000 volts per meter static electricity, learned the hard way. In the Mojave Desert was level of static electricity is fairly common. Back to PSE EE EIS frauds. This simulated break is at the top of a crest which has the added stress of maximum vertical curve. This one is located 100 feet from the intersection of SE 44th St and Somerset Blvd SE Bellevue 98006. This at just one of hundreds of stress concentration area of one new steel pole replacing four old wooden poles and/or bends in the very hilly area where the pipeline corridor is. This jet fuel fire expert would expect a release of 200,000 gallons to flow along the red lines with the resulting fire from instant cornea ignition reaching the Bellevue Fire Station No. 4 before they even get a chance to get into their trucks. The outline by the red translucent ovals are what this jet fuel expert (JP-4 to be exact) expects to be buring by the first 20 minute mark. Note the extent of a 10,000 gallon water actual real 6 inch water main break shown on blue and fully documented in a separate doc with multiple photos. Blue= 10000 gallons Red = 200,000 gallons under PSE claimed max of spill of 372,162 gallon The extremely surprising event will be the collapse of I90 with any break the magnitude of the past break in 1999 Bellingham WA in the water shed shown and south of I90 to 0.5 mile past Bellevue Fire Station No. 5 at the very bottom. For the I90 bridge collapse in case you don’t believen me get the NTSB rpt on I85 bridge collapse in Atlanta. Not just useable BUT collapse!!! Just 76 reels of plastic pipe!!! Energy content of just ~50 gallons-ish of jet fuel or gasoline. Have you canoed under that bridge? One nice big sponge of water plants to slow the prevailing wind blown fuel fire. Still don’t believe me? Ever seen a cement road way buckle in 120F heat? Try that with a bridge. notes: The entire energy planning of the Puget Sound has been a disaster for 80 years as the dozen of repetitive power lines crossing 405 in Renton just one clue. And matters are getting far worst as the for-profit electric utility industry continues to collapse as total energy sale per year are going down not up. Given UK use less than ½ the energy the USA does it is not surprising not surprising that General Electric with cutting 12,000 folks or 18% of it electric power employees in early 2018. Locally the disaster continues with the highly industry controlled FERC forced BPA, PSE and Seattle City Lights to form a grid planning organization in 2006, which was the wild west before that. A ISO or RTO format of regional grid planning is something all other similar population areas have had for over 5 decades like California with its ISO. Yet BPA/PSE/SCL could even do that forming the Columbia Grid organization not a a ISO nor RTO but as a non-profit with zero to none oversight capability.
