CORRECTIVE ACTION ORDER
Purpose and Background:
This Corrective Action Order (Order) is being issued under the authority of 49 U.S.C. § 60112 to
require Magellan Pipeline Company, LP (Magellan or Respondent), to take the necessary
corrective actions to protect the public, property, and the environment from potential hazards
associated with the recent failure on Respondent’s El Dorado to Kansas City refined products
pipeline.
A reportable accident occurred on the #6-10 portion of the El Dorado to Kansas City pipeline in
Butler County, Kansas, on May 4, 2015, resulting in the release of an estimated 1,861 barrels of
diesel fuel. The cause of the failure has not yet been determined. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §
60117, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of
Pipeline Safety (OPS), initiated an investigation of the accident. The investigation remains
ongoing. The preliminary findings of the ongoing investigation are as follows.
Preliminary Findings:
• On May 4, 2015, at approximately 4:11 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT), a failure
occurred on the 10-inch nominal diameter El Dorado to Kansas City #6-10 portion of the
pipeline in the town of El Dorado, KS.
• The accident was reported to the National Response Center (NRC Report #1115408) on
May 4, 2015, at approximately 4:44 a.m. CDT. PHMSA received this notification at
approximately 5:02 a.m. CDT.



CPF No. 3-2015-5003H
Page 2
• The pipeline is 170.16 miles long and comprised of 166.8 miles of 10-inch nominal
diameter pipeline from East El Dorado Pump Station to the 18th street valve setting (#6-
10), and 3.36 miles of 8-inch (#4-8) nominal diameter pipeline from the 18th street valve
setting to Kansas City Terminal. The pipeline delivers refined petroleum products to the
Topeka and Kansas City terminals.
• The East El Dorado to 18th street valve setting was originally constructed in 1955. The
pipe at the failure location was 10-inch nominal diameter, low frequency electric
resistance welded, X-46, 0.250 wall, pipe manufactured by Youngstown Steel with coal-
tar coating and an impressed current cathodic protection system. An estimated 166.8
miles of “like” pipe exist in this section.
• The maximum operating pressure (MOP) of the El Dorado to Topeka portion of the
pipeline is 1,142 psig. The maximum discharge pressure at East El Dorado pump station,
the only active pump station on the pipeline, is 1,008 psig. At the time of the failure, the
discharge pressure was 1,001 psig.
• In response to receiving SCADA system indications of a possible leak at 4:11 am CDT,
Magellan shutdown the pipeline starting at 04:14:42 CDT. This involved the actuation of
valves located at Kanas City Terminal, 18th Street, Emporia, Mile Post (MP) 156,
Topeka, and East El Dorado pump station. Magellan completed the shutdown operation
by 04:18:06 am CDT. After this had been established, Magellan also closed manual
valves at MP 2, MP 7, and MP 12.
• The pipeline was hydrostatically tested in 1991 to a pressure of 1,937 psig. The MOP
was established at 1,142 psig based on 72% specified minimum yield strength (SMYS)
for 10-inch nominal diameter, 0.203 wall thickness, X-42 line pipe in 2003.
• The failure occurred in a High Consequence Area (HCA). Homes were located within
625 feet of the failure location and a large NuStar tank facility was within 180 feet. An
active railroad crosses over Constant Creek and diesel fuel flowed down the creek into
this area and traveled approximately 0.5 miles from the failure location.
• The failure site is located approximately 688 feet downstream of East El Dorado Pump
Station known as MP 0.2 in initial reports. This location is in a common corridor with an
overhead electric line, and six other pipelines (5 connecting tank lines and the #7-16”
from El Dorado to Wathena Junction). The El Dorado to Kansas City pipeline crosses
numerous public roads, several HCAs due to population, and Unusually Sensitive Areas
(USA).
• As a result of the failure, an estimated 1,861 barrels of diesel fuel were released with a
reported 672 barrels recovered. Of the 672 barrels recovered, 627 barrels made it into
Constant Creek.
• The Magellan El Dorado to Kansas City Terminal pipeline remains shut down. The pipe
has been delivered to a metallurgical laboratory for testing and failure analysis.



CPF No. 3-2015-5003H

• The cause of the failure has not yet been confirmed, butinitial observations indicate
selective seam corrosion as the likely failure mechanism.
• The pipeline’s recent leak history includes:
o 2/28/2011- the #6-10 portion of the pipeline experienced a 20 barrel release of
gasoline in Emporia, KS as a result of a malfunction of Control/Relief equipment.
o 10/06/2011- the #6-10 portion of the pipeline experienced a 590 barrel release of
refined products near Lawrence, KS due to a third party excavation damage.
o 05/23/2005 – the #4-8 portion of the pipeline experienced a 2936 barrel release of
gasoline in Kansas City, KS reported by the operator as being caused by external
corrosion.
o The #6-10 portion of the pipeline experienced a manufacturing defect failure in
1998 and several external corrosion failures in 1989 and 1986 respectively.
• Magellan conducted an in-line inspection (ILI) of the El Dorado to Topeka segment in
2011. A preliminary review of the ILI results indicates that the joint that failed had an
anomaly called out in the ILI data as a 27% metal loss feature.
A new section of pipe has been installed at the failure location and the pipeline was filled
with product on May 6, 2015 to assist with identification of any leak areas. However,
Magellan has not placed the line back into operational status and has not resumed
operations
• ERW pipe manufactured prior to 1970 has a history of increased risk of seam failures.
PHMSA issued two advisory bulletins (ALN-88-01 on January 28, 1988, and ALN-
89-01 on March 8, 1989) regarding factors contributing to operational failures of
pipelines constructed with ERW pipe manufactured prior to 1970. PHMSA identified
selective corrosion of the ERW seam as a contributing cause of failure in a significant
number of these accidents. Other failures have occurred due to the growth of
manufacturing defects in ERW seams. The advisory bulletins recommended that
operators re-evaluate the potential for safety problems on their high-pressure pre-1970
ERW pipelines by hydrostatic testing on those pipelines, ensuring the effectiveness of
cathodic protection systems, and taking additional safety measures.
Magellan operates one of the largest products pipeline systems in the country and its
assets consist of 9,500 miles of refined products pipelines with 53 connected terminals
and 27 independent terminals.
Determination of Necessity for Corrective Action Order and Right to Hearing:
Section 60112 of Title 49, United States Code, provides for the issuance of a Corrective Action
Order, after reasonable notice and the opportunity for a hearing, requiring corrective action,
which may include the suspended or restricted use of a pipeline facility, physical inspection,
testing, repair, replacement, or other action, as appropriate. The basis for making the
determination that a pipeline facility is or would be hazardous, requiring corrective action, is set
forth both in the above-referenced statute and 49 C.F.R. § 190.233, a copy of which is enclosed.



CPF No. 3-2015-5003H
Page 4
Section 60112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder provide for the issuance of a
Corrective Action Order, without prior notice and opportunity for hearing, upon a finding that
failure to issue the Order expeditiously would result in the likelihood of serious harm to life,
property, or the environment. In such cases, an opportunity for a hearing and expedited review
will be provided as soon as practicable after the issuance of the Order.
After evaluating the foregoing preliminary findings of fact, I find that continued operation of the
pipeline without corrective measures is or would be hazardous to life, property, or the
environment. Additionally, having considered the nature of the failure; the proximity of the
pipeline to public road crossings and residences; the location of portions of the pipeline in
HCAs; the age and manufacture of the pipeline; the hazardous nature of the product the pipeline
transports; the pressure required for transporting the material; and the ongoing investigation to
determine the cause of the failure, I find that a failure to issue this Order expeditiously to require
immediate corrective action would result in the likelihood of serious harm to life, property, or the
environment.
Accordingly, this Corrective Action Order mandating immediate corrective action is issued
without prior notice and opportunity for a hearing. The terms and conditions of this Order are
effective upon receipt.
Within 10 days of receipt of this Order, Respondent may contest its issuance obtain expedited
review either by answering in writing or requesting a hearing under 49 C.F.R. § 190.211, to be
held as soon as practicable under the terms of such regulation, by notifying the Associate
Administrator for Pipeline Safety in writing, with a copy to the Director, Central Region,
PHMSA (Director). If Respondent requests a hearing, it will be held telephonically or in-person
in Central Region Office or Washington, D.C.
After receiving and analyzing additional data in the course of this investigation, PHMSA may
identify other corrective measures that need to be taken. In that event, PHMSA will notify
Respondent of any additional measures that are required and an amended Order issued, if
necessary. To the extent consistent with safety, Respondent will be afforded notice and an
opportunity for a hearing prior to the imposition of any additional corrective measures.
Required Corrective Actions:
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60112, I hereby order Magellan to immediately take the following
corrective actions on the El Dorado to Kansas City pipeline:
Definitions:
“Affected Segment” - The “Affected Segment” means the El Dorado to Kansas City #6-10
pipeline extending 166.8 miles from East El Dorado Pump Station to 18th Street valve
setting and includes the Isolated Segment.
"Isolated Segment" - The "Isolated Segment" means the approximately 2-mile segment of
the #6-10 pipeline from East El Dorado Pump Station to the valve setting at MP 2.



CPF No. 3-2015-5003H
Page 5
1. 2. 3. "Director"
- The "Director" means the Director, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety, Central Region. The Director’s
address is 901 Locust, Suite 462, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.
Operating Restriction. Magellan must not operate the Isolated Segment until authorized to
do so by the Director.
Pressure Restriction. Upon returning the pipeline to operational status, Magellan must
implement and maintain a twenty percent (20%) pressure reduction in the actual operating
pressure along the entire length of the Affected Segment such that the operating pressure
along the Affected Segment will not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the actual operating
pressure in effect immediately prior to the failure on May 4, 2015. Specifically, the East El
Dorado pump station discharge pressure cannot exceed 801 psig.
a. This pressure restriction is to remain in effect until written approval to increase the
pressure or return the pipeline to its pre-failure operating pressure is obtained from the
Director.
b. By May 31, 2015, Magellan must provide the Director the actual operating pressures and
flows for any locations monitored on the pipeline between East El Dorado Pump Station
and Kansas City terminal. This shall include pressures and flows available on the entire
#6-10 pipeline and the number #4-8 or other lines continuing off of the #6-10 between
East El Dorado Pump Station and Kansas City terminal.
c. This pressure restriction requires any relevant remote or local alarm limits, software
programming set-points or control points, and mechanical overpressure devices to be
adjusted accordingly and supporting documentation provided to the Director.
d. When determining the pressure restriction set-points, Magellan must take into account
any “like pipe” locations, in-line inspection (ILI) features or anomalies present in the
Affected Segment to provide for continued safe operation while further corrective actions
are completed.
Restart Plan. Prior to resuming operation of the Affected Segment develop and submit a
written Restart Plan to the Director for prior approval.
a. The Director may approve the Restart Plan incrementally without approving the entire
plan but the Affected Segment cannot resume operation until the Restart Plan is approved
in its entirety.
b. Once approved by the Director, the Restart Plan will be incorporated by reference into
this Order.
c. The Restart Plan must provide for adequate patrolling of the Affected Segment during the
restart process and must include incremental pressure increases during start up, with each
increment to be held for at least 2 hours.



CPF No. 3-2015-5003H
Page 6
d. The Restart Plan must include sufficient surveillance of the pipeline during each pressure
increment to ensure that no leaks are present when operation of the line resumes.
e. The Restart Plan must specify a day-light restart and include advance communications
with local emergency response officials.
f. The Restart Plan must also include documentation of the completion of all mandated
actions, and a management of change plan to ensure that all procedural modifications are
incorporated into Magellan’s operations and maintenance procedures manual.
4. Return to Service. After the Director approves the Restart Plan, Magellan may return the
pipeline to service but the operating pressure must not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the
actual operating pressure in effect immediately prior to the failure on May 4, 2015, in
accordance with Item 2 above.
5. Removal of Pressure Restriction.
a. The Director may allow the removal or modification of the pressure restriction upon a
written request from Magellan demonstrating that restoring the pipeline to its pre-failure
operating pressure is justified based on a reliable engineering analysis showing that the
pressure increase is safe considering all known defects, anomalies, and operating
parameters of the pipeline.
b. The Director may allow the temporary removal or modification of the pressure
restrictions upon a written request from Magellan demonstrating that temporary
mitigative and preventive measures are implemented prior to and during the temporary
removal or modification of the pressure restriction. The Director's determination will be
based on the failure cause and provision of evidence that preventative and mitigative
actions taken by the operator provide for the safe operation of the Affected Segment
during the temporary removal or modification of the pressure restriction.
6. Review of Prior Inline Inspection (ILI) Results. Conduct a review of any previous inline
inspection (ILI) results of the Affected Segment. Re-evaluate all ILI results from the past 10
calendar years. Review the ILI vendors' raw data and associated analysis. Determine
whether any features were present in the failed pipe joint and/or any other pipe removed.
Also, determine if any features with similar characteristics are present elsewhere on the
Affected Segment. Magellan must submit documentation of this ILI review to the Director
within 45 days of receipt of this Order as follows:
a. List all ILI tool runs, tool types, and the calendar years of the tool runs.
b. List, describe (type, size, wall loss, etc.), and identify the specific location of all ILI
features present in the failed joint and/or other pipe removed.
c. List, describe (type, size, wall loss, etc.), and identify the specific location of all ILI
features with similar characteristics present elsewhere on the Affected Segment.
d. Explain the process used to review the ILI results and the results of the reevaluation.

and other evidence from the failure site.
b. Within 10 days of receipt of this Order, develop and submit the testing protocol and the
proposed testing laboratory to the Director for prior approval.
c. Prior to beginning the mechanical and metallurgical testing, provide the Director with the
scheduled date, time, and location of the testing to allow for an OPS representative to
witness the testing.
d. Ensure the testing laboratory distributes all reports whether draft or final in their entirety
to the Director at the same time they are made available to Magellan.
8. Root Cause Failure Analysis. Within 90 days following receipt of this Order, complete a
root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and submit a final report of this RCFA to the Director.
The RCFA must be supplemented/facilitated by an independent third-party acceptable to the
Director and must document the decision making process and all factors contributing to the
failure. The final report must include findings and any lessons learned and whether the
findings and any lessons learned are applicable to other locations within Magellan’s pipeline
system.
9. Remedial Work Plan (RWP).
a. Within 90 days following receipt of this Order, Magellan must submit a Remedial Work
Plan (RWP) to the Director for approval.
b. The Director may approve the RWP incrementally without approving the entire RWP.
c. Once approved by the Director, the RWP will be incorporated by reference into this
Order.
d. The RWP must specify the tests, inspections, assessments, evaluations, and remedial
measures Magellan will use to verify the integrity of the Affected Segment. It must
address all known or suspected factors and causes of the May 4, 2015 failure. Magellan
should consider both the risk of another failure and the consequence of another failure to
develop a prioritized schedule for RWP related work along the Affected Segment.
e. The RWP must include a procedure or process to:
i. Identify pipe in the Affected Segment with characteristics similar to the contributing
factors identified for the May 4, 2015 failure.

likely to exist elsewhere on the Affected Segment.
Conduct additional field tests, inspections, assessments, and/or evaluations to
determine whether, and to what extent, the conditions associated with the failure on
May 4, 2015 and other failures from the failure history or any other integrity threats
are present elsewhere on the Affected Segment. At a minimum, this process must
consider all failure causes and specify that the Affected Segment will receive an
assessment appropriate for the RCFA within 1 one year of the date of receipt of this
Order.
Describe the inspection and repair criteria Magellan will use to prioritize, excavate,
evaluate, and repair anomalies, imperfections, and other identified integrity threats.
Include a description of how any defects will be graded and a schedule for repairs or
replacement.
Based on the known history and condition of the Affected Segment, describe the
methods Magellan will use to repair, replace, or take other corrective measures to
remediate the conditions associated with the pipeline failure on 5/4/2015 and to
address other known integrity threats along the Affected Segment.
Implement continuing long-term periodic testing and integrity verification measures
to ensure the ongoing safe operation of the Affected Segment considering the results
of the analyses, inspections, evaluations, and corrective measures undertaken
pursuant to the Order.

the Director.
i. ii. iii. Submit any plan revisions to the Director for prior approval.
The Director may approve plan revisions incrementally.
Any and all revisions to the RWP after it has been approved and incorporated by
reference into this Order will be fully described and documented.
h. Implement the RWP as it is approved by the Director, including any revisions to the plan.
11. Emergency Response Plan and Training Review.
Magellan must review and assess the effectiveness of its emergency response procedures,
plan and associated performance in regards to the failure of May 4, 2015. Include in the
assessment a detailed review of the on-scene response and support activities (including
timeline), coordination with all parties (including regulatory requests and proceeding with
work), site security (including all phases of the response), procedures for improvements,
lessons learned, and communication with emergency responders, third party contractors,
public officials, and internal resources. Assess the effectiveness of communication with all
other modes of transportation that could have been impacted by this type of spill such as
municipal water impacts, roads, railroad, electric power, the local refinery operations and
water intake considerations. This should include a review of the Federal Response Plan, an
understanding of the worst case discharge in the area for the pipeline and the other pipelines
or facilities in the area that may need communication and coordination activities such as
Nustar or Jayhawk or Holly Energies. The review will include existing training under the
Incident Command structure and emergency procedures. Also included will be a review and
assessment of the effectiveness of other Magellan company emergency training or responses
elements such as SOP. Magellan must amend its FRP or emergency response operating
procedures and associated training, if necessary, to reflect the results of this detailed review.
The documentation associated with this detailed Emergency Response Plan and Training
Review must be provided to the Director.
12. Topography Review
