CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
June 3, 2016
Mr. Gary Loop
VP & Chief Operating Officer
Dakota Gasification Company
1600 East Interstate Avenue
Bismarck, ND 58503
CPF 3-2012-5025M
Dear Mr. Loop:
On October 31, 2011, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-
site pipeline safety inspection of Dakota Gasification Company’s procedures in Beulah, North
Dakota. As a result of the inspection, Dakota Gasification Company was issued a Notice of
Amendment on November 27, 2012, which proposed amendment of your procedures.
Dakota Gasification Company submitted its amended procedures on March 28, 2013. 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,
Allan C. Beshore
Director, Central Region, OPS
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
