OVERNIGHT EXPRESS DELIVERY
March 01, 2016
Mr. Robert Steidel
Director, City of Richmond
Department of Public Utilities
730 East Broad Street
Richmond, VA 23219
CPF 1-2015-0001M
Dear Mr. Steidel:
Between April 9 and October 9, 2014, inspectors from the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VA
SCC) acting as Agent for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office
of Pipeline Safety (OPS), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, inspected the City of
Richmond’s (City) Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP) procedures in Richmond,
Virginia.
As a result of the inspection, the City was issued a Notice of Amendment (NOA) on February 12, 2015,
which proposed amendment of its procedures.
The City submitted its amended procedures on June 2, 2015, September 30, 2015, and again on December
21, 2015.
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 Coy, PE
Director, Eastern Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

Mr. Massoud Tahamtani, VA SCC
