Dear Mr. Ostach:
On May 17, 2011, Buckeye Partners, L.P. (Buckeye) discovered a gasoline leak on Line
413 at the Findlay Junction facility near Findlay, Ohio. The leak occurred in a two-inch
diameter steel riser pipe, connected to a buried twelve-inch pipe through an isolation valve.
An above ground pressure transmitter was connected to the top of the two-inch riser pipe.
The riser pipe was oriented perpendicular to the twelve-inch pipe and was enclosed in a
large diameter steel culvert, i.e., a vault. A representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States
Code investigated this leak at Findlay Junction.
As a result of the investigation, it appears that you have committed probable Violations of
the Pipeline Safety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. The items
inspected and the probable violations are:



1. §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.
Buckeye failed to clean and coat each pipeline or portion of the pipeline that is exposed to
the atmosphere. Specifically, Buckeye did not clean and coat a two-inch diameter steel
riser pipe, connected to a buried twelve-inch pipe through an isolation valve to protect
against corrosion. The pipe was installed in 1997 and, per a metallurgical analysis, the leak
was caused by external pitting corrosion on the exterior of the two-inch uncoated pipe. In
addition to the leaking corroded area, the metallurgical analysis report documented many
relatively large and deep pits on the riser with the deepest pits being 71% of the nominal
wall thickness. The two-inch riser pipe was installed in a vault that was exposed to the
atmosphere with a soil-to-air interface present; therefore, the exceptions in §195.581(c) do
not apply.
2. §195.583 What must I do to monitor atmospheric corrosion control?
(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.
Buckeye failed to properly monitor atmospheric corrosion of its pipe at a soil-to-air-
interface. Specifically, on August 4, 2010, Buckeye did not perform an adequate inspection
of riser pipes exposed to the atmosphere in five vaults at the Findlay Junction facility. The
riser pipes in the vaults contained soil-to-air interfaces. One of the riser pipes had a
corrosion failure that resulted in a product release on May 17, 2011. The August 4, 2010,
inspection documented on Buckeye’s Triennial Visual Inspection Form indicated on the
Riser Condition section of the form completed as “Air-Ground interface coating in good
condition” and “No rust visible.” However, during the onsite failure investigation, less than
a year later, PHMSA observed that none of the riser pipes in the five vaults at Findlay
Junction facility were coated and rust was visually present. The metallurgical report of the
failed riser pipe documented areas of thick corrosion deposits, deep pits and no coating or
paint present.
3. §195.505 Qualification program.
Each operator shall have and follow a written qualification program. The program
shall include provisions to:
(d) Evaluate an individual if the operator has reason to believe that the individual's
performance of a covered task contributed to an accident as defined in Part 195;
2



Buckeye failed to properly evaluate an individual that it had reason to believe contributed
to an accident through the performance of a covered task. Specifically, following the
discovery of a corrosion caused leak at the Findlay Junction facility, Buckeye did not
evaluate in a timely manner a single employee regarding performance of covered task
001019 “Inspect Normally Exposed Pipe.” On August 10, 2011, and repeatedly on
December 7, 2011, and March 19, 2012, PHMSA made email information requests
associated with the provisions of Buckeye’s Operator Qualification plan. None of these
information requests resulted in evaluation information being provided for this single
employee. The atmospheric corrosion inspection on August 4, 2010, was inadequate and
external pitting corrosion was the cause of the May 17, 2011, leak. The metallurgical
report documented that there was no evidence of accelerated corrosion mechanisms such as
bacteria or microbial-influenced corrosion (MIC) that played a role in the leak. On June
27, 2012, Buckeye completed the accident investigation and concluded that an inadequate
inspection of the covered task on August 4, 2010, was a causal factor in the pipe failure.
An additional email request was made and an answer received on June 24, 2013, indicating
that an evaluation had still not been completed.
Proposed Civil Penalty
Under 49 United States Code, § 60122, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
$200,000 per violation per day the violation persists up to a maximum of $2,000,000 for a
related series of violations. For violations occurring prior to January 4, 2012, the maximum
penalty may not exceed $100,000 per violation per day, with a maximum penalty not to
exceed $1,000,000 for a related series of violations. The Compliance Officer has reviewed
the circumstances and supporting documentation involved in the above probable violations
and has recommended that you be preliminarily assessed a civil penalty of $271,300 as
follows:
Item number PENALTY
1 $123,800
2 $100,000
3 $ 47,500
Proposed Compliance Order
With respect to items 2 and 3 pursuant to 49 United States Code § 60118, the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration proposes to issue a Compliance Order to
Buckeye Partners. Please refer to the Proposed Compliance Order, which is enclosed and
made a part of this Notice.

FINAL ORDER
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60117, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), conducted an investigation of an
accident involving the pipeline system operated by Buckeye Partners, LP (Buckeye or
Respondent), at Findlay Junction in Ohio. Buckeye owns and operates approximately 6,000
miles of hazardous liquid pipelines in the Northeast and Upper Midwest regions.1
The investigation arose out of Buckeye discovering a gasoline leak on Line 413 at the company’s
Findlay Junction facility near Findlay, Ohio on May 17, 2011(Accident). As a result of the
investigation, the Director, Central Region, OPS (Director), issued to Respondent, by letter dated
March 28, 2014, a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed Civil Penalty, and Proposed
Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 190.207, the Notice proposed
finding that Buckeye had committed various violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and assessing a
civil penalty of $271,300 for the alleged violations. The Notice also proposed ordering
Respondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violations.
Buckeye responded to the Notice by letter dated May 5, 2014 (Response). The company did not
contest the allegations of violation and paid the proposed civil penalty of $271,300, as provided
in 49 C.F.R. § 190.227. Payment of the penalty serves to close the case with prejudice to
Respondent, or to those Items for which a penalty was proposed.
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION
In its Response, Buckeye did not contest the allegations in the Notice that it violated 49 C.F.R.
Part 195, as follows:
http://www.buckeye.com/BusinessOperations/PipelineTransportationOperations/tabid/584/Default.aspx (last
accessed August 19, 2014).

Item 1: The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a), which states:
§ 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.
The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a) by failing to clean and coat
each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the atmosphere. Specifically, the Notice
alleged that Buckeye did not clean and coat a two-inch diameter steel riser pipe, which was
connected to a buried twelve-inch pipe through an isolation valve, to protect against corrosion.
The pipe was installed in 1997. According to a metallurgical analysis conducted after the
Accident, the leak was caused by external pitting corrosion on the exterior of the two-inch
uncoated pipe. In addition to the leaking corroded area, the metallurgical analysis documented
many relatively large and deep pits on the riser, with the deepest pits being 71% of the nominal
wall thickness. The two-inch riser pipe was installed in a vault that was exposed to the
atmosphere with a soil-to-air interface present; therefore, the exceptions in § 195.581(c) do not
apply.
Respondent did not contest this allegation of violation. Accordingly, based upon a review of all
of the evidence, I find that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a) by failing to clean and
coat each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the atmosphere.
Item 2: The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.583(b), which states:
§ 195.583 What must I do to monitor atmospheric corrosion control?
(a) …
(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.
The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(b) by failing to properly
monitor atmospheric corrosion control by giving particular attention to pipe at soil-to-air
interfaces during inspections. Specifically, the Notice alleged that on August 4, 2010, Buckeye
did not perform an adequate inspection of riser pipes exposed to the atmosphere in five vaults at
the Findlay Junction facility. One of the riser pipes had a corrosion failure that resulted in the
Accident. The August 4, 2010 inspection record indicated the “air-ground interface coating in
good condition” and “no rust visible.” However, during the onsite failure investigation, less than
a year later, PHMSA observed that none of the riser pipes in the five vaults at the Findlay
Junction facility were coated and rust was visually present. According to the Notice, the
metallurgical report of the failed riser pipe documented areas of thick corrosion deposits, deep
pits, and no coating or paint present.
Respondent did not contest this allegation of violation. Accordingly, based upon a review of all



3
of the evidence, I find that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(b) by failing to properly
monitor atmospheric corrosion control by giving particular attention to pipe at soil-to-air
interfaces during inspections.
Item 3: The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.505(d), which states:
§ 195.505 Qualification program
Each operator shall have and follow a written qualification program.
The program shall include provisions to:
(a) …
(d) Evaluate an individual if the operator has reason to believe that the
individual's performance of a covered task contributed to an accident as
defined in Part 195; . . . .
The Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.505(d) by failing to properly
evaluate an individual who the company had reason to believe contributed to an accident through
the performance of a covered task. Specifically, the Notice alleged that after the discovery of a
leak caused by corrosion at the Findlay Junction facility, Buckeye failed to evaluate in a timely
manner a single employee regarding performance of Task 001019, “Inspect Normally Exposed
Pipe.” On June 27, 2012, Buckeye completed its own accident investigation and concluded that
an inadequate inspection of the covered task on August 4, 2010, was a causal factor in the pipe
failure. As of June 24, 2013, the company had still failed to complete an evaluation of this
employee.
Respondent did not contest this allegation of violation. Accordingly, based upon a review of all
of the evidence, I find that Respondent violated 49 C.F.R. § 195.505(d) by failing to properly
evaluate an individual who the company had reason to believe contributed to an accident through
the performance of a covered task.
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent.
ASSESSMENT OF PENALTY
Under 49 U.S.C. § 60122, Respondent is subject to an administrative civil penalty not to exceed
$100,000 per violation for each day of the violation, up to a maximum of $1,000,000 for any
related series of violations. In determining the amount of a civil penalty under 49 U.S.C.
§ 60122 and 49 C.F.R. § 190.225, I must consider the following criteria: the nature,
circumstances, and gravity of the violation, including adverse impact on the environment; the
degree of Respondent’s culpability; the history of Respondent’s prior offenses; the Respondent’s
ability to pay the penalty and any effect that the penalty may have on its ability to continue doing
business; and the good faith of Respondent in attempting to comply with the pipeline safety
regulations. In addition, I may consider the economic benefit gained from the violation without
any reduction because of subsequent damages, and such other matters as justice may require.
The Notice proposed a total civil penalty of $271,300 for the violations cited above.



4
Item 1: The Notice proposed a civil penalty of $123,800 for Respondent’s violation of
49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a), for failing to clean and coat each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is
exposed to the atmosphere. Buckeye neither contested the allegation nor presented any evidence
or argument justifying a reduction in the proposed penalty. Accordingly, having reviewed the
record and considered the assessment criteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $123,800 for
violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a).
Item 2: The Notice proposed a civil penalty of $100,000 for Respondent’s violation of
49 C.F.R. § 195.583(b), for failing to properly monitor atmospheric corrosion control by giving
particular attention to pipe at soil-to-air interfaces during inspections. Buckeye neither contested
the allegation nor presented any evidence or argument justifying a reduction in the elimination of
the proposed penalty. Accordingly, having reviewed the record and considered the assessment
criteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $100,000 for violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.583(b).
Item 3: The Notice proposed a civil penalty of $47,500 for Respondent’s violation of
49 C.F.R. § 195.505(d), for failing to properly evaluate an individual who the company had
reason to believe contributed to an accident through the performance of a covered task. Buckeye
neither contested the allegation nor presented any evidence or argument justifying a reduction in
the proposed penalty. Accordingly, having reviewed the record and considered the assessment
criteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $47,500 for violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.505(d).
In summary, having reviewed the record and considered the assessment criteria for each of the
Items cited above, I assess Respondent a total civil penalty of $271,300. As noted above,
Buckeye has paid the full penalty amount by wire transfer dated May 5, 2014.
COMPLIANCE ORDER
The Notice proposed a compliance order with respect to Items 2 and 3 in the Notice for
violations of 49 C.F.R. §§ 195.583(b) and 195.505(d), respectively. Under
49 U.S.C. § 60118(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids or who
owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety standards
established under chapter 601. Pursuant to the authority of 49 U.S.C. § 60118(b) and 49 C.F.R.
§ 190.217, Respondent is ordered to take the following actions to ensure compliance with the
pipeline safety regulations applicable to its operations:
1. With respect to the violation of § 195.583(b) (Item 2), Respondent must re-
inspect, within six months of the date of this Final Order, all facilities that were last
inspected by employee number 4496, for atmospheric corrosion, using a different
qualified individual who is knowledgeable about corrosion control. The operator
must provide copies of the completed Triennial Visual Inspection forms or any form
that is used to document these re-inspections, along with the associated individual’s
name and qualification information.
2. With respect to the violation of § 195.505(d) (Item 3), Respondent must re-



5
evaluate the employee who performed the covered task 001019, “Inspecting
Normally Exposed Pipe” inspection on August 4, 2010, and submit the
documentation of the re-evaluation within thirty (30) days of the date of this Final
Order, verifying the individual’s status related to this task and identify when the
status change occurred.
3. It is requested that Buckeye maintain documentation of the safety improvement
costs associated with fulfilling this Compliance Order and submit the total to
Ms. Linda Daugherty, Director, Central Region, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration. It is requested that these costs be reported in two categories:
1) total cost associated with preparation/revision of plans, procedures, studies and
analyses; and 2) total cost associated with replacements, additions and other changes
to pipeline infrastructure.
The Director may grant an extension of time to comply with any of the required items upon a
written request timely submitted by the Respondent and demonstrating good cause for an
extension.
Failure to comply with this Order may result in the administrative assessment of civil penalties
not to exceed $200,000 for each violation for each day the violation continues or in referral to the
Attorney General for appropriate relief in a district court of the United States.
The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective upon service in accordance with
49 C.F.R. § 190.5.
