Hunt did not provide a record of the evaluation verifying the company has identified
circumstances in which a close-interval survey or comparable technology would be
practicable and necessary to accomplish the objectives of paragraph 10.1.1.3 of NACE
standard RP0169-96.
2.
§195.583 What must I do to monitor atmospheric corrosion control?
(a) You must inspect each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the
atmosphere for evidence of atmospheric corrosion, as follows:
(b) During inspections you must give particular attention to pipe at soil-to-air
interfaces, under thermal insulation, under disbonded coatings, at pipe supports,
in splash zones, at deck penetrations, and in spans over water.
(c) If you find atmospheric corrosion during an inspection, you must provide
protection against the corrosion as required by $195.581.
Hunt did not provide a record during the inspection which verified atmospheric
corrosion monitoring of its pipeline. Post inspection, Hunt performed this activity.
3.
$195.581 Which pipelines must I protect against atmospheric corrosion and what
coating material may I use?
(a) You must clean and coat each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to
the atmosphere, except pipelines under paragraph (c) of this section.
(b) Coating material must be suitable for the prevention of atmospheric corrosion.
Conditions found in the field showed rusting and need for cleaning and coating of some
mainline valves and aboveground piping at Yellow Creek station.
4.
§195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies.
(c) Maintenance and normal operations. The manual required by paragraph (a) of
this section must include procedures for the following to provide safety during

effectiveness of the procedures used in normal operation and maintenance and

(d) Abnormal operation. The manual required by paragraph (a) of this section
must include procedures for the following to provide safety when operating design
limits have been exceeded:
(5) Periodically reviewing the response of operator personnel to determine the
effectiveness of the procedures controlling abnormal operation and taking
corrective action where deficiencies are found.
Hunt did not provide a record verifying periodic review of personnel work normal
and abnormal operations to determine effectiveness of procedures.
