CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
July 8, 2010
Mr. Jim Benning, Director
City of Duluth – Department of Public Works and Utilities
City Hall
411 West 1st Street
Duluth, Minnesota 55802
Re: CPF 3-2009-1008M
Dear Mr. Benning:
On September 17-21, 2007, representatives from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) and the Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety, pursuant to chapter
601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of the City of
Duluth (Duluth) integrity management procedures in Duluth, Minnesota. As a result of the
inspection, Duluth was issued a Notice of Amendment on April 22, 2009, which proposed
amendment of your procedures.
Duluth submitted its proposed revisions on May 22, 2009, and its amended procedures on
April 8, 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,
David Barrett
Director, Central Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
