Let Fk,g{\Phi_{k,g}} be the class of all k-edge connected 4-regular graphs with girth of at least g. For several choices of k and g, we determine a set Ok,g{\mathcal{O}_{k,g}} of graph operations, for which, if G and H are graphs in Fk,g{\Phi_{k,g}}, G ≠ H, and G contains H as an immersion, then some operation in Ok,g{\mathcal{O}_{k,g}} can be applied to G to result in a smaller graph G′ in Fk,g{\Phi_{k,g}} such that, on one hand, G′ is immersed in G, and on the other hand, G′ contains H as an immersion.
