CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
July 18, 2012
Mr. Michael Pearson
Senior Vice President of Technical Services
Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P.
One Williams Center

Tulsa, OK 74172
CPF 4-2011-5006H
Dear Mr. Pearson:
On February 24, 2011, Magellan Pipeline Company, L.P. (Magellan) experienced a failure of its
18-inch diameter products pipeline in Texas City, TX. As a result of the accident the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO), 4-
2011-5006H, dated March 1, 2011, requiring Magellan to take corrective actions with respect to
its pipeline system.
The cause of the failure was determined to be seam failure in the ERW pipe and Magellan
presented a plan of corrective measures designed to prevent additional in-service failures.
PHMSA monitored the repairs made and reviewed the hydrostatic test performed as required, to
determine that Magellan has substantially completed the requirements of the CAO.
Consequently, PHMSA has closed the CAO, CPF 4-2011-5006H.
Sincerely,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
