Respondent.
CPF No. 5-2007-5015
FINAL ORDER
On August 28 - 31, 2006, pursuant to 49 U. S. C. ( 60117, a representative of the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), conducted an on-
site pipeline safety mspection of CHS Inc. 's (CHS or Respondent) Integrity Management
Program (IMP) in Laurel, Montana CHS operates approximately 1, 086 miles of hazardous
liquid pipelines in Montana and North Dakota, much of which runs through environmentally
sensitive areas, As a result of the mspection, the Director, Western Region, OPS (Director),
issued to Respondent, by letter dated April 4, 2007, a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed
Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C. F. R, $ 190. 207, the Notice proposed
finding that Respondent had violated various provisions of 49 C. F. R. $195. 452 and ordering
Respondent to take certain measures to correct the alleged violations
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated May 1, 2007 (Response). Respondent did
not contest the allegations of violations and indicated that it intended to complete the work
identified in the proposed Compliance Order by November 1, 2007. Respondent further
requested that in the event a Final Order should be issued prior to that date, an extension be
granted for Respondent to complete the work. As of the date hereof, Respondent has not
provided documentation showing completion of the work identified in the Compliance Order. In
its Response, CHS did not request a hearing and therefore has waived its right to one.
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION
In its Response, Respondent did not contest the allegations in the Notice that it violated
49 C. F. R. Part 195, as follows'
Item 1: Item 1 of the Notice alleged that Respondent violated various provisions of 49 C. F. R. $
195. 452(i), which states, in relevant part:
g 195. 452 Pipeline integrity management in high consequence areas.
(a) "
(i) 8'hat preventive and mitigative measures must an operator take to protect
the high consequence area?



(1) General requirements An operator must take measures to prevent and
mitigate the consequences of a pipeline failure that could affect a high
consequence area. These measures include conducting a risk analysis of the
pipeline segment to identify additional actions to enhance public safety or
environmental protection. Such actions may include, but are not limited to,
implementing damage prevention best practices, better monitoring of cathodic
protection where corrosion is a concern, establishing shorter inspection intervals,
installing EFRDs on the pipeline segment, modifying the systems that monitor
pressure and detect leaks, providing additional traming to personnel on response
procedures, conducting drills with local emergency responders and adopting other
management controls. . . .
(3) Leak detection An operator must have a means to detect leaks on its
pipeline system. An operator must evaluate the capability of its leak detection
means and modify, as necessary, to protect the high consequence area. An
operator's evaluation must, at least, consider the following factors length and
size of the pipeline, type of product carried, the pipeline's proximity to the high
consequence area, the swiftness of leak detection, location of nearest response
personnel, leak history, and risk assessment results.
(4) Emergency Flow Restrtcting Devices (EFRD) If an operator determines
that an EFRD is needed on a pipeline segment to protect a high consequence area
in the event of a hazardous liquid pipeline release, an operator must install the
EFRD. In making this determmation, an operator must, at least, consider the
following factors — the swiftness of leak detection and pipeline shutdown
capabilities, the type of commodity carried, the rate of potential leakage, the
volume that can be released, topography or pipeline profile, the potential for
ignition, proximity to power sources, location of nearest response personnel,
specific terrain between the pipeline segment and the high consequence area, and
benefits expected by reducing the spill size.
Item 1(A): Item 1(A) of the Notice alleged that, as of the date of the inspection, Respondent had
violated ) 195 452(i)(1) by failing to take measures to prevent and mitigate the consequences of
a pipeline failure that could affect a high consequence area. Specifically, the Notice alleged that
Respondent failed to conduct a risk analysis of its pipeline segments to identify additional
actions to enhance public safety or environmental protection. CHS did not contest this allegation.
Accordingly, based upon a review of the record, I find that Respondent violated 49 C. F. R. $
194 452(i)(1)) by failing to have completed a risk analysis of its pipeline segments.
Item 1(B): Item 1(B) of the Notice alleged that Respondent had violated 49 C. F. R. $
195. 452(i)(3), as stated above, by failmg to complete, as of the date of the inspection, an
evaluation of the leak detection capability of its pipeline system
In its Response, Respondent did not contest this allegation but indicated that it intended to
comply with the actions required under the proposed Compliance Order by November 1, 2007.
Accordingly, based upon a review of the record, I find that Respondent violated 49 C. F R
)195. 452(i)(3) by failing to have completed, as of the date of the inspection, an evaluation of the
leak detection capabilities of its pipeline system.



Item 1(C): Item 1(C) of the Notice alleged that Respondent had violated 49 C. F. R. ) 195. 452
(i)(4), as stated above, by failing to complete, as of the date of the inspection, an evaluation to
determine if there were a need for additional EFRDs on any segment of its pipeline system in
order to protect a high consequence area in the event of a release. In its Response, CHS did not
contest the allegation but indicated that it intended to comply with the actions required under the
proposed Compliance Order by November 1, 2007. Accordingly, based upon a review of the
record, I find that Respondent violated 49 C. F. R. $195 452(i)(4) by failing to have completed, as
of the date of the inspection, an evaluation to determine if there were a need for additional
EFRDs on any segment of its pipeline system.
Item 2(A): Item 2(A) of the Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C. F. R $ 195. 452(j)(2),
which states:
g 195. 452 Pipeline integrity management in high consequence areas.
(a) "
(j) What rs a continual process of evaluation and assessment to maintain a pipeline's
integrity?
(1) General After completing the baseline integrity assessment, an operator must
continue to assess the line pipe at specified intervals and periodically evaluate the
integrity of each pipeline segment that could affect a high consequence area.
(2) Evaluation An operator must conduct a periodic evaluation as frequently
as needed to assure pipeline integrity. An operator must base the frequency of
evaluation on risk factors specific to its pipeline, including the factors specified in
paragraph (e) of this section. The evaluation must consider the results of the
baseline and periodic integrity assessments. . . .
The Notice alleged that Respondent had violated ( 195 452(j)(2) by failing to conduct, as of the
date of the inspection, an annual evaluation of its pipeline system, as required by Article 7 1 of
CHS' integrity management program. In its Response, Respondent did not contest the allegation
but indicated that it intended to comply with the actions required under the proposed Compliance
Order by November 1, 2007. Accordingly, based upon a review of the record, I find that
Respondent violated 49 C. F. R. $195. 452(j)(2) by failmg to have conducted, as of the date of the
inspection, a periodic evaluation of the integrity of its pipeline system, as required by Article 7. 1
of Respondent's IMP.
Item 3(A): Item 3(A) of the Notice alleged that Respondent violated 49 C. F R. ) 195. 452(k),
which states:
f 195. 452 Pipeline integrity management in high consequence areas.
(a) "~
(f) What are the elements of an integrity management program~
An integrity management program begins with the initial framework.
An operator must continually change the program to reflect operating
experience, conclusions drawn from results of the integrity assessments, and other
maintenance and surveillance data, and evaluation of consequences of a failure on
the high consequence area An operator must include, at minimum, each of the
following elements in its written integrity management program:



(1) "
(7) Methods to measure the program's effectiveness (see paragraph (k) of this
section). . .
(k) 8'hat methods to measure program effecttveness must be used~ An
operator's program must include methods to measure whether the program is
effective in assessing and evaluating the integrity of each pipeline segment and in
protectmg the high consequence areas. See Appendix C of this part for guidance
on methods that can be used to evaluate a program's effectiveness.
The Notice alleged that Respondent had violated 49 C. F. R. $ 195 452(k) by failing to conduct
ongoing evaluations of the effectiveness of its IMP in assessing and evaluating the integrity of
each pipeline segment and in protecting high consequence areas. Specifically, it alleged that
CHS had failed to conduct an annual evaluation of its IMP, as required under Article 9. 1 of such
plan. In its Response, Respondent did not contest the allegation but indicated that it intended to
comply with the actions required under the proposed Compliance Order by November 1, 2007.
Accordingly, based upon a review of the record, I find that Respondent violated 49 C. F. R.
$195. 452(k) by failing to have conducted, as of the date of the inspection, periodic evaluations of
the effectiveness of its IMP in assessing and evaluating the integrity of each pipelme segment
and in protecting high consequence areas.
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken agamst Respondent.
