Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 12300 W Dakota Ave, Suite 110 I akewood, CO 80228 NOTICE OF AMKNDMKNT CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT RE UESTED December 10, 2007 Mr. Steve Miller Assistant Vice President Energy West Development 2320 Mountain View Drive Cody, WY 82414 CPF 5-2007-0026M Dear Mr. Miller; On May 29, 2007, a representative of the Pipehne and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, inspected Energy West Development (EWD) procedures for integrity management in Cody, Wyoming. On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacies found within EWD's plans or procedures, as described below: $192. 911 What are the elements of an integrity management program? An operator's initial integrity management program begins with a framework (see g 192. 907) and evolves into a more detailed and comprehensive integrity management program, as information is gained and incorporated into the program. An operator must make continual improvements to its program. The initial program framework and subsequent program must, at minimum, contain the following elements. (When indicated, refer to ASME/ANSI B31. 8S (incorporated by reference, see g 192. 7) for more detailed information on the listed element. ) (a) An identification of all high consequence areas, in accordance with g 192. 905. The following procedures were inadequate for identification of high consequence areas. ~ Item 1. A: $192. 905(a) Section 1 of Energy West Development's (EWD) integrity management program (IMP) refers to $192. 5 for definitions of Class 3 and 4 areas. These definitions must direct the reader to other company manuals that determine class locations, or the IMP procedure itself must fully describe how a Class 3 and Class 4 area are identified. ~ Item 1. B: $192. 905(a) Section 1 of EWD's IMP which describes the process for determining if a potential impact circle contains an identified site, refers to Appendix E of Part 192 for drawings depicting the method. EWD's procedure cannot reference Part 192 for descriptions of methods to be used for determining high consequence areas (HCAs). ~ Item 1. C: $192. 905(a) Under Section 1, Identification of HCAs the First Step, paragraph 3, EWD refers to 49 CFR 192 and not their IMP for definitions of HCA determination methods. ~ Item 1. D: $192. 905(a) Under Section 1, Identification of HCAs the First Step, paragraph 4, EWD refers to%9 CFR 192 and not their IMP for definitions of identified sites.
