Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation, Infectious Disease Prevention, SARS-CoV-2 Virus That Causes COVID-19
Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“Columbia”) is a party interested in the promulgation of the referenced Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation and offers the following as public comment:
This Section recognizes what is commonplace in the gas utility industry, that it is not always possible or practicable to maintain physical distancing requirements; however,
Sections 30 and 40 quoted above appear to conflict; as such Columbia urges DOLI to adopt the standard at Section 40(F) and align the provisions of Section 30 and any other similar provisions with Section 40(F).
