FINAL ORDER
On or about December 10, 2003, a rcpresentative of the Oflice of Pipeline Safety (OPS),
Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), conducted an investigation to determine
Reryondent's compliance with two Final ffiers issued to Respondent in October and Decernber,
2002 (CPF Nos. l-2002-0003 and l-2002-0002M, respectively).r As a resutt of the
investigation, the Director, Eastern Region, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter datcd
Deccrnber 10,2003, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposcd Civil Penalty (CPF No. l-
2003-0002). [n accordancc with 49 C.f.R. $ 190.207, the Notice proposed finding Respondent
had violated the wo above-refercnccd Final Orders and proposed assessing a civil pcnalty of
$10,000 for the alleged violations,
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated Juuary 2, zO04. Respondent initially
contested one of the allegations and requcsted a hearing. The hearing was held on March 23,
2004 in Washingron, DC. Aftsr the hearing, Rcspondcnt provided additional infiormation by
letter dated April 19, 2004. In its post-hcaring letter, Respondent aclnowledged the validity of
the facts alleged in the Notice, requested the proposed penalty be eliminated, and reguested
amendment to one of the Ordcn. By email dated April 21, 2004, Respondent submitted
procedural amendments to the Director, Eastem Region, OPS.
FINDINGS OFVIOLATION
Item A in the Notice alleged Respondent violated the terms of a Final Order issued to
Respondcnl on October 30, 2W2 (CPF No. l-2002-0003). By the terms of that Order,
Respondcnt was required to clean and eithcr coat or jacket each aboveground segmenl of
Respondent's ten-mite Red Onion Pipeline. Respondent did not contest the allegation that it
failed to clean and coat the pipelinc as required in that frcr.
' The Norman Y. Mrneta Rescorch and Special Programs Ifiprovemcnt Act, Pub. L. No. 108-426,
I l8 Srar. 2421 (2W4), creatcd the Pipeline and Hazardous Matcrials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and
transfened the authority of RSPA cxerciscd rmda chapter 601 of title 49, Unitcd States Code, to thc
Adminisraror of PHMSA. See also 70 Fcd. Reg.8299, 8301-t302 (2005) (dclcgating authonty to the
Administrator of PHMSA).



Instead, Respondent contested the underlying finding of violation in the previously-issued
Order. Since Respondent did not file a petition for reconsideration in accordance with § 190.215
within 20 days of service of that Order, Respondent has waived its right to request
reconsideration of that Order. Accordingly, the Order will not be reconsidered. Respondent also
contested the authority of OPS to regulate the Red Onion Pipeline. At the hearing, OPS
presented evidence showing the pipeline is subject to OPS regulatory authority. In its post-
hearing submission, Respondent agreed to recognize the Red Onion Pipeline as a transmission
line subject to OPS regulativn
Accordingly, I find Respondent violated the terms of the Final Order (CPF No. 1-2002-0003) by
failing to clean and coat the pipeline as ordered.
Item B in the Notice alleged Respondent violated the terms of another Final Order issued to
Respondent on December 3, 2002 (CPF No. 1-2002-0002M). By the terms of that Order,
Respondent was required to amend its procedures and submit documentation of compliance
within 90 days. In its Response and at the hearing, Respondent did not contest the allegation that
it failed to amend its procedures as required by that Order. Accordingly, 1 find Respondent
violated the terms of the Final Order (CPF No. 1-2002-0002M) by failing 10 amend its
procedures within 90 days.
These| findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent.
ASSESSMENT OF PENALTY
Under 49 U.S.C. § 60122, Respondent is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed 3100,000 per
violation for each day of the violation up to a maximum of $1,000,000 for any related series of
violations. The Notice proposed a total civil penalty of $10,000 for the violations.
49 U.S.C. § 60122 and 49 C.F.R. § 190.225 require that, in determining the amount of the eivil
penalty, I consider the following criteria: nature, circumstances, and gravity of the violation,
degree of Respondent's culpability, history of Respondent's prior offenses, Respondent's ability
to pay the penalty, good faith by Respondent in attempting to achieve compliance, the effect on
Respondenr's ability to continue in business, and such other matters as justice may require.
The pipeline safety standards located at 49 C.F.R. Part| 192 ensure a level of safety for the
protection of the public, property and the environment. Actions specified in orders issued by
compliance with these safety standards. Respondent's failure to comply with the terms of two
OPS are designed to bring an operator's pipeline system and applicable procedures into
orders presenred i threat to safety by atlowing a noncompliant condition to remam on



In its Response and at the hearing, Respondent requested elimination of the civil penalty duc to
Respondent's limited financial resources. At the hearing, Respondent submitted evidence of its
annual gross and net income. In its post-hearing response, Respondent again provided yearly
revenue figures and requested OPS consider Respondent as a "small business" defined by the
U.S. Small Business Administration.
Based on the financial information provided by
Respondent, I find assessment of a civil penalty would have an adverse effect on Respondent's
ability to continue in business.
Accordingly, having reviewed the record and considered the assessment criteria, I do not assess a
civil penalty for the violations.
ITEM A. COMPLIANCE ORDER
Under 49 U.S.C. § 60118(a), each person who engages in the transportation of gas or who owns
OT! operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety standards
established under Chapter 601. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60118(b) and 49 C.F.R. § 190.217, OPS
issued to Respondent, on October 30, 2002, a Compliance Order (CPF No. 1-2002-0003)
requiring Respondent to take specific action to ensure compliance with the pipeline safety
regulations.,
In its post-hearing letter dated April 19, 2004, Respondent requested OPS amend the terms of the
Compliance Order to allow Respondent to umplement a less costly alternative to the originally.
ordered compliance terms. After reviewing the proposal submitted by Respondent and the
recommendation of the Director, Easter Region, OPS, I find amendment to the compliance
terms of the Order is appropriate. The amended terms will ensure the safety of the pipeline
system and avoid undue financial hardship to Respondent. Accordingly, 1 hereby amend the
Order (CPF No. 1-2002-0003) as follows:
The following Items replace the originally-ordered terms of the Compliance Order CPF No. I-
2002-0003:
1.| Crib and electrically insulate from contact with the soil each aboveground segment of
Respondent's pipeline at a rate of no less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aboveground
segments per year to be completed by September 30, 2011. Cribbing shall involve
raising the aboveground pipe and resting it on 6-inch pipe segments (the cribbing pipe)
placed at 50-foot intervais. The cribbing pipe shall be at least 24-inches in length and
sleeved with a non-electrically conductive sleeve, such as plastic or reinforced fiberglass,
placed between the cribbing pipe and the aboveground gas pipeline to prevent clectrical
contact between the aboveground pipeline and the soil.
2. Until Item 1 is completed in full, conduct annual inspections (spot checks) for corresion
conditions on un-cribbed aboveground pipeline segments at the points of transition from
wet to dry soil conditions. These inspections shall consist of digging beneath the pipe,
cleaning the pipe, and determining whether corrosion activity is taking place. Document



4
cach inspection and detail findings of corrosion on a "Record of Pipe Inspection" form.
If corrosion is observed, the section of pipe must be cribbed or an anode must be installed
affect the safe operation of the pipeline
unless Respondent can document that the corrosion is of a light oxide variety that will not
3. Monitor all aboveground
annually for corrosion activity and maintain
documentation of corrosion monitoring and determinations of the presence and degree of
corrosion. Monitoring shall continue for the life of the pipeline Of until otherwise
determined in writing by the Director, Eastern Region, OPS
4. Install a sacrificial anode at rach transition point on the pipeline where buried/coated pipe
meets aboveground/incoater Pipe. Installation of anodes Must be completed by
September 30, 2007
5. Within 90 days of receipt of this Amendment, submit to the Director, Eastern Ragion.
OPS, for approval a plan and schedule for implementing cach of the ahove items
6. A1 least once each six months, starting September 30. 2005, submit a written report on
the status of actions taken under each of the above items.
Submit the report to the
Director, Eastern Region, OPS, and the Director, Division of Utility and Railroad Safety,
Virginia State Corporation Commission. Supplement the written report with applicable
data if requested by the Director, Pastern Region, OPS. Respondent shall submit anual
reports for the life of the pipeline Of until otherwise determined in writing by the
Director, Fastern Region, (PS
The Director, Eastern Region, OPS may grant an extension of time to comply with any of the
required items upon a written request by the Respondent demonstrating gond canse for an
extension.
ITEM B: AMENDMENT OF PROCEDURES
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60108(a) and 49 CF.R. § 190.237, OPS issued to Respondent, On
December 3, 2002, a Final Order (CPF No. 1.2002-0002M) requiring Respondent revise its
Operations and Maintenance Procedures within 90 days. Although Respondent did not timely
comply with the Order, Respondent submitted amendments by email to the Director, Eastern
Region, OPS. on April 21, 2004. The Director, Eastern Region, OPS has reviewed the amended
procedures and indicated that Respondent has achieved compliance only with Items 1, 2, 3, 4. 5.
1, and 12 of the Order. Respondent has not achieved compliance with Items 6, 8, 9, 10. 11. 13.
and 14 of the Order. Accordingly, 1 find portions of Respondent's procedures remain inadequate
to ensure the safe operation of its pipeline system. Respondent must make the following
revisions to its procedures, which were originally ordered in the above referenerd Final Order
Respondent must:



5
1. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures to include procedures for checking
variations from normal operation after abnormal operation has ended al sufficient critical
locations in the system to determine continued integrity and safe operation, in accordance
with 49 C.F.R. § 192.605(c)(2). (Item 6 in original).
2. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures to include procedures for periodically
taking corrective action where deficiencies are found, in accordance with 49 C.F.R.
reviewing the response of operator personnel in controlling abnormal opcration and

3. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures to include procedures for continuing
surveillance of its facilities to determine and take appropriate action concerning changes
in class location, failures, leakage history, corrosion, substantial changes in cathodic
protection requirements, and other unusual operating and maintenance conditions, in
accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 192.613(a). If a segment of pipeline is determined to be in
unsatisfactory condition but no immediate hazard exists, the operator must take action to
recondition or phase out the segment involved, or, if the segment cannot be reconditioned
or phased out, to reduce the maximum allowable operating pressure, in accordance with
49 C.F .R. § 192.613(b). (Item 9 in original). Respondent's procedures do not address
leakage history, corrosion, and substantial changes in cathodic protection requirements.
4. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures for its damage prevention program to
include procedures for follow-up inspection of pipelines that it has reason to believe
could he damaged by excavation activities, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 192.614(cX6).
(Item 10 in original). Respondent's procedures do not address leakage surveys in the
case of blasting.
5. Amend its Operaung and Maintenance Procedures to include procedures for analyzing
accidents and failures, including the selection of samples of the failed facility or
equipment for laboratory examination, where appropriate, for the purpose of determining
the causes of the failure and minimizing the possibility of a recurrence, in accordance
with 49 C.F.R. § 192.617. (Item 1] in original).
6. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures to reflect the requirement that each tap
made on a pipeline under pressure must be performed by a crew qualified to make hot
taps, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 192.627. (Item 13 in original). Respondent's
procedures do not include a requirement that the crew be qualified
7. Amend its Operating and Maintenance Procedures to include procedures for addressing
the reduction in pipeline wall thickness caused by localized or general corrosion, in
accordance with 49 C.F.R. $ 192.485. (Item 14 in original) Respondent's procedures do
not define what "severe pitting" means.

OPS, within 30 days following receipt of this Final Order. The Regional Director may extend the
period for complying with the required items if the Respondent requests an extension and
adequately justifies the reasons for the extension.
Failure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up 1o
$100,000 per violation per day, or in the referral of the cast for judicial entorcement.
Under 49 C.F.R. § 190.215, Respondent has a right to submit a Petition for Reconsideration of
this Amendment to Final Order. The petition must be received within 20 days of Respondent's

Re: CPF Nos. 1-2003-0002; 1-2002-0003; and 1-2002-0002M
Dear Mr. Massey and Mr. Ebert:
I am writing in reference to the Final Order issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) in the above-referenced enforcement actions on September 1, 2005, to
Evan Energy Company, LC (Evan), regarding the company’s 10-mile intrastate gas transmission
pipeline that serves the Red Onion State Prison in Pound, Virginia (Final Order). The Final Order
required Evan to take certain actions to ensure compliance with the Federal Pipeline Safety laws
and to revise its written safety procedures. While some of these actions have been completed to
date, it appears that others may not have been fully satisfied.
As you are aware, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) has recently assumed
jurisdiction over all intrastate gas pipelines in Virginia pursuant to legislation enacted by the
Virginia General Assembly in 2005. The SCC currently inspects all intrastate gas pipelines and
carries out other pipeline safety responsibilities in Virginia under certification from PHMSA
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60105. The SCC has informed PHMSA that Appalachian Natural Gas
Distribution Company (Appalachian) is the new owner and operator of this line, as of January 1,
2008, and that it has made progress in completing the requirements of the Final Order.
Therefore, in accordance with the foregoing certification, PHMSA hereby transfers all of its rights
and authority under the September 1, 2005 Final Order, to the SCC. Accordingly, the pending
PHMSA enforcement actions [CPF Nos. 1-2003-0002, 1-2002-0003, and 1-2002-0002M]
involving Evan and its successor-in-interest, Appalachian, are now closed.

Respondent states that the mspected plpelme connects thousands of gathering wells to aboveground
gathering pipeline systems within two natural gas storage fields that have been in service since 1977
and 1984 and thus the length of service in those storage IICIds demonstrates " experience in the
