CONSENT AGREEMENT
From June 13 through November 4, 2022, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), pursuant to Chapter
601 of 49 United States Code (U.S.C.), conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of the
facilities and records of Kinder Morgan Liquid Terminals, LLC (KMLT or Respondent) in
Carteret and Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The system inspection was of interstate hazardous
liquid transmission pipeline mileage totaling approximately 9.22 miles. There are 113 breakout
tanks located in this system.
As a result of the inspection, the Director, Eastern Region, OPS (Director), issued to Respondent,
by letter dated May 5, 2023, a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Compliance Order, and
Proposed Civil Penalty (Notice), which also included warning items pursuant to 49 C.F.R. §
190.205. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Notice proposed finding that KMLT
committed violations of two provisions of 49 C.F.R. § 195 in Items 1 and 2, and proposed
ordering Respondent to take certain measures to correct an alleged violation and a civil penalty
of $75,200. The other probable violations (Items 3 and 4) were brought as warnings, advising
the operator to correct the probable violations or face potential future enforcement action.
KMLT responded to the Notice by letter dated June 1, 2023 (Response). Respondent contested
Items 1 and 2 in the Notice and the proposed civil penalty and the proposed compliance order
and requested a hearing in this matter. Respondent also requested to meet informally with
PHMSA to discuss the issues raised in the Response and stated that, without admission, it was
electing not to contest the two warning items in the Notice.
PHMSA and Respondent (the Parties) subsequently met to discuss the issues raised in the
Response. As a result of those discussions and as explained in more detail below, for Item 1 the
Parties have agreed to extend the timeframe to complete the PCO to 270 days. For Item 2, the
parties have agreed to a reduced civil penalty of $39,400.



Having agreed that settlement of this proceeding will avoid further administrative proceedings or
litigation and will serve the public interest by promoting safety and protection of the
environment, pursuant to 49 C.F.R. Part 190, and upon consent and agreement, the Parties hereby
agree as follows:
I. General Provisions
1. Respondent acknowledges that as the operator of the pipeline facilities subject to
the Notice, Respondent and its referenced pipeline facilities are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Federal pipeline safety laws, 49 U.S.C. § 60101, et seq., and the regulations and administrative
orders issued thereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, Respondent acknowledges that it
received proper notice of PHMSA’s action in this proceeding and that the Notice states claims
upon which relief may be granted pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60101, et seq., and the regulations and
orders issued thereunder.
2. After Respondent returns this signed Agreement to PHMSA, the Agency’s
representative will present it to the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety, recommending
that the Associate Administrator adopt the terms of this Consent Agreement by issuing an
administrative order (Consent Order) incorporating the terms of this Agreement. The terms of this
Agreement constitute an offer of settlement until accepted by the Associate Administrator. Once
accepted, the Associate Administrator will issue a Consent Order incorporating the terms of this
Agreement.
3. Respondent consents to the issuance of the Consent Order, and hereby waives any
further procedural requirements with respect to its issuance. Respondent waives all rights to
contest the adequacy of notice, or the validity of the Consent Order or this Agreement, including
all rights to administrative or judicial hearings or appeals, except as set forth herein.
4. This Agreement shall apply to and be binding upon PHMSA and Respondent, its
officers, directors, and employees, and its successors, assigns, or other entities or persons
otherwise bound by law. Respondent agrees to provide a copy of this Agreement and any
incorporated work plans and schedules to all of Respondent’s officers, employees, and agents
whose duties might reasonably include compliance with this Agreement.
5. This Agreement constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement and
understanding between the Parties with respect to the settlement embodied in this Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge that there are no representations, agreements or understandings relating
to settlement other than those expressly contained in this Agreement, except that the terms of this
Agreement may be construed by reference to the Notice.
6. Nothing in this Agreement affects or relieves Respondent of its responsibility to
comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal pipeline safety laws, 49 U.S.C. § 60101,
et seq., and the regulations and orders issued thereunder. Nothing in this Agreement alters
PHMSA's right of access, entry, inspection, and information gathering or PHMSA's authority to
bring enforcement actions against Respondent pursuant to the Federal pipeline safety laws, the
regulations and orders issued thereunder, or any other provision of Federal or State law.



7. For all transfers of ownership or operating responsibility of Respondent’s pipeline
system referenced herein, Respondent will provide a copy of this Agreement to the prospective
transferee at least 30 days prior to such transfer. Respondent will provide written notice of the
transfer to the PHMSA Eastern Regional Director no later than 60 days after the transfer occurs.
8. This Agreement does not waive or modify any Federal, State, or local laws or
regulations that are applicable to Respondent’s pipeline systems. This Agreement is not a
permit, or a modification of any permit, under any Federal, State, or local laws or regulations.
Respondent remains responsible for achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable
Federal, State, and local laws, regulations and permits.
9. This Agreement does not create rights in, or grant any cause of action to, any third
party not party to this Agreement. The U.S. Department of Transportation is not liable for any
injuries or damages to persons or property arising from acts or omissions of Respondent or its
officers, employees, or agents carrying out the work required by this Agreement. Respondent
agrees to hold harmless the U.S. Department of Transportation, its officers, employees, agents,
and representatives from any and all causes of action arising from any acts or omissions of
Respondent or its contractors in carrying out any work required by this Agreement.
10. Except as set forth herein, this Agreement does not constitute a finding of
violation of any other federal law or regulation and may not be used in any civil proceeding of
any kind as evidence or proof of any fact, fault or liability, or as evidence of a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, or requirement, except in a proceeding to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement or in future PHMSA enforcement actions.
11. Except as otherwise specified below, Respondent neither admits nor denies any
allegation or conclusion in the Notice or this Agreement, but agrees for purposes of this
Agreement to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
12. Upon issuance of the Consent Order, the Parties agree to the following terms.
II. Findings of Violation:
13. Item 1- 49 C.F.R. § 195.264(b)(1): The Notice alleged Respondent failed to
provide adequate records for its facility breakout tanks built after October 2, 2000, demonstrating
adequate impoundments in accordance with NFPA-30 and § 195.264(b)(1). Specifically, the
Notice alleged that KMLT Tank Impoundment Records had many discrepancies such as
incorrectly referenced breakout tank numbers, incorrect dike area containment and tank volumes,
dike areas incorrectly labeled as well as unsupported calculations. KMLT challenged Item 1 on
the grounds it would need more time to perform the relevant surveys to support tank
impoundment calculation data. The Parties agreed to a timeframe of 270 days to conduct all
surveys and field verification due to potential interference in aerial surveys by vegetation growth
and the need to re-verify aerial gaps.



14. Item 2- 49 C.F.R. § 195.402(a): The Notice alleged Respondent failed to follow
its manual of written procedures. Specifically, the Notice alleged that KMLT failed to follow its
Emergency Shutdown Procedure, T-O&M 500 – Pump Emergency Shutdown, dated 09/14/16
and 12/10/20, for conducting its emergency shutdown tests. KMLT challenged Item 2 on the
grounds that there is no evidence that the emergency shutdown system was ever impaired in
2020 or 2021. KMLT provided available SCADA data to PHMSA demonstrating that safety
systems were effective and operable during the period in question. KMLT conceded that these
tests were not recorded in the appropriate form as required its procedure. As a result of the data
provided, the Parties agreed to a reduced Civil Penalty of $39,400.
15. Items 1 and 2 will be considered by PHMSA as prior offenses in any future PHMSA
enforcement action taken against Respondent for the five (5)-year period following the Effective
Date of this Agreement.
III. Warning Items:
16. Item 3- 49 C.F.R. § 195.402(a): The Notice alleged that KMLT failed to follow
its manual of written procedures. Specifically, the Notice alleged that KMLT failed to follow its
Integrity Management Program – IMP, dated 10/05/22 (IMP) for conducting its integrity
management program effectiveness reviews, in accordance with § 195.402(a). This Item was
brought as a warning Item and does not constitute a finding of violation. Without admission,
KMLT stated in the Response it has revised the IMP to include criteria for Facility Performance
Metrics.
17. Item 4- 49 C.F.R. § 195.402(a): The Notice alleged KMLT failed to conduct its
2020 calendar year annual review of its emergency manual for the Perth Amboy, New Jersey
facility at the required interval in accordance with § 195.402(a). Specifically, the Notice alleged
that KMLT exceeded the permitted 15-month interval between the 2019 and 2020 calendar year
Annual ERP Review. This Item was brought as a warning Item and does not constitute a finding
of violation. Without admission, KMLT stated in the Response it will utilize its OpsInfo tool to
create an actionable task for annual ERP review.
18. For Warning Items 3 and 4, if OPS finds a violation of these provisions in a
subsequent inspection, Respondent may be subject to future enforcement action.
IV. Civil Penalty:
19. Item 2: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $75,200
for Item 2. Respondent requested a reduction of the proposed civil penalty. After consideration
of additional information provided by Respondent PHMSA agrees to reduce the civil penalty.
The reduction is based on SCADA data provided to PHMSA demonstrating that safety systems
were effective and operable during the period in question. KMLT conceded that these tests were
not recorded in the appropriate form as required by its procedures. It has been determined Item 2
minimally affected pipeline safety. Respondent agrees to pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$39,400 for the violation in Item 2.



20. Respondent shall pay a total civil penalty in the amount of $39,400, pursuant to
the payment instructions at 49 C.F.R. § 190.227(a), to be paid in full no later than 20 days from
the Effective Date of this Agreement.
V. Compliance Order:
21. Item 1: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non-
compliance alleged in Item 1. The Notice proposed that KMLT must conduct a survey or field
verification to support the tank impoundment calculation data within 180 days of receipt of a
Final Order in this matter. As discussed above, Respondent requested, and the Parties agreed to, a
timeframe of 270 days to conduct all surveys and field verification to satisfy the compliance
actions.
VI. Enforcement:
22. This Agreement is subject to all enforcement authorities available to PHMSA
under 49 U.S.C. § 60101, et seq., and 49 C.F.R. Part 190, including administrative civil penalties
under 49 U.S.C. § 60122, of up to $257,664 per violation for each day the violation continues and
referral of the case to the Attorney General for judicial enforcement, if PHMSA determines that
Respondent is not complying with the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the
determinations made by the Director, or if appealed, in accordance with decisions of the Associate
Administrator. The maximum civil penalty amounts are adjusted annually for inflation. See 49
C.F.R. § 190.223.
VII. Dispute Resolution:
23. The Director and Respondent will informally attempt to resolve any disputes
arising under this Agreement, including but not limited to any decision of the Director. If
Respondent and the Director are unable to informally resolve the dispute within 15 calendar days
after the dispute is first raised, in writing, to the Director, Respondent may submit a written
request for a determination resolving the dispute from the Associate Administrator for Pipeline
Safety, PHMSA. Such request must be made in writing and provided to the Director, counsel for
the Central Region, and to the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety, no later than 10
calendar days from the 15-day deadline for informal resolution referenced in this paragraph.
Along with its request, Respondent must provide the Associate Administrator with all
information Respondent believes is relevant to the dispute. Decisions of the Associate
Administrator under this paragraph will constitute final agency action. The existence of a
dispute and PHMSA’s consideration of matters placed in dispute will not excuse, toll, or suspend
any term or timeframe for completion of any work to be performed under this Agreement during
the pendency of the dispute resolution process, except as agreed by the Director or the Associate
Administrator in writing, or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
VIII. Effective Date:
24. The term “Effective Date,” as used herein, is the date on which the Consent Order
is issued by the Associate Administrator, PHMSA, incorporating the terms of this Agreement.



IX. Recordkeeping and Information Disclosure:
25. Unless otherwise required in this Agreement, Respondent agrees to maintain
records demonstrating compliance with all requirements of this Agreement for a period of at
least five (5) years following completion of all work to be performed. For any reports, plans, or
other deliverables required to be submitted to PHMSA pursuant to this Agreement, Respondent
may assert a claim of business confidentiality or other protections applicable to the release of
information by PHMSA, covering part or all of the information required to be submitted to
PHMSA pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 7. Respondent must
mark the claim of confidentiality in writing on each page, and include a statement specifying the
grounds for each claim of confidentially. PHMSA determines release of any information
submitted pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 7, the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, DOT and PHMSA policies, and other applicable regulations
and Executive Orders.
X. Modification:
26. The terms of this Agreement may be modified by mutual agreement of the Parties.
Such modifications must be in writing and signed by both parties.
XI. Ratification:
27. The Parties’ undersigned representatives certify that they are fully authorized to
enter into the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to execute and legally bind such party
to this document.
28. The Parties hereby agree to all conditions and terms of this Agreement.
XIII. Termination:
29. This Agreement will remain in effect until the Compliance Order in Section V is
satisfied, as determined by the Director. The Agreement shall not terminate until the Director
confirms, in writing, that the Agreement is terminated in accordance with this paragraph.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents Respondent from completing any of the obligations earlier
than the deadlines provided for in this Agreement.
