The potential impact radius is an approximation of the extent of immediate damage from a pipeline incident. Damage may extend slightly beyond that radius in some instances. Additionally, structures extending into the radius would very likely burn, and those fires will not be limited to the portion of the structure within the radius. The rule requires that a building containing 20 people for the time periods specified in the rule must be treated as an identified site if any portion of it is within the potential impact radius. • FAQ-163. Why does the length of an HCA segment vary depending on how close to the pipeline an identified site is located? If an identified site is close to the pipeline the HCA length is longer than if an identified site is further away. Shouldn t the HCA be the same? [08/17/2004]Answer: The effects of pipeline incidents are proportional to distance from the pipeline. When an identified site is close to the pipeline, more of the pipeline length is within the radi
