OVERNIGHT EXPRESS DELIVERY
November 17, 2015
J. Andrew Drake
Vice President, Operations & EHS
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Spectra Energy Corp)
5400 Westheimer Court
Houston, TX 77056-5310
CPF 1-2015-1015M
Dear Mr. Drake:
On May 22 and 23, 2014, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety, pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code conducted an
investigation into an incident that occurred on the Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Spectra Energy Corp)
(hereafter referred to as Spectra Energy) 30-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline known as
Line 10. The incident occurred near Carmichael, Pennsylvania, on May 16, 2014 at 11:15 a.m., which
resulted in property damage of $186,437.
As a result of the inspection, Spectra Energy was issued a Notice of Amendment on July 8, 2015, which
proposed amendment of your procedures.
Spectra Energy submitted amended procedures on August 31, 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
