THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Pursuant to the Commission’s policy of encouraging settlements that are in the public interest, the Parties held a series of settlement discussions. These discussions culminated in this Settlement, which, once approved, will resolve all issues related to I&E’s Complaint proceeding. As fully set forth in the settlement terms below, I&E submits that this Settlement is in the public interest and fully satisfies I&E’s significant safety concerns in this matter. Immediately upon the initiation of this matter, PECO investigated I&E’s concerns and met with I&E’s inspectors on several occasions to discuss l&E’s allegations. Moreover, subsequent to I&E’s Complaint, PECO took several corrective actions that met or exceeded the relief requested in I&E’s Complaint, as laid out in Paragraph 10 of the Settlement, and the preceding NC letters. Since I&E filed its Complaint, PECO has installed new pilots for relief valves at fifteen (15) medium-pressure regulator stations, has rebuilt three (3) regulator stations to reduce pressure build-up and pipe losses, and has addressed safety concerns and internal policy issues identified by I&E in its Complaint. Further, PECO has provided evidence of practices, policies, and procedures that demonstrate PECO’s actions to be compliant with applicable Pipeline Safety Regulations. I&E intended to prove at hearing the factual allegations set forth in its Complaint, which PECO has disputed. The Settlement results from the compromises of the Parties after settlement discussions. Further, I&E recognizes that, given the inherent unpredictability of the outcome of a contested proceeding, the benefits to amicably resolving the disputed issues through settlement outweigh the risks and expenditures of continued litigation. I&E submits that the Settlement constitutes a reasonable compromise of the issues presented and is in the public interest. As such, I&E respectfully requests that the Commission approve the Settlement without modification.
