Dear Mr. Ashcroft:
During May and June of 2008, representatives from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) and the State of New York Department of Public Safety, pursuant to
Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of
Buckeye Partners, L.P.’s procedures in Breinigsville, PA. As a result of the inspection, Buckeye
Partners, L.P. was issued a Notice of Amendment on May 6, 2009, which proposed amendment
of your procedures.
Buckeye Partners, L.P. completed its submittal of the amended procedures on August 30, 2010.
My staff reviewed the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this
Notice of Amendment have been corrected.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you
for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Byron E. Coy, PE
Director, Eastern Region
