Dakota Ave., Suite 110 Pipeline and Administration Hazardous Materials Safery CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED February 15, 2012 Mr. Steven G. Lins Assistant General Manager City of Glendale, Water & Power Administration 141 N. Glendale Ave, Level 4 Glendale, CA 91206 Re: CPF 5-2010-0009 Withdraw Case Dear Mr. Lins: On August 14, 2008, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an on-site pipeline safety inspection of Scholl Canyon Landfill Gas, Limited Partnership's landfill gas operation in Glendale, California. As a result of the inspection, on March 2, 2010, we issued Scholl a Notice of Probable Violation and Proposed Compliance Order, alleging that it did not have the required written plans, procedures, and programs to operate the 5.5-mile long transmission pipeline. In addition, Scholl did not have a written anti-drug or alcohol program and it appeared that Scholl had not tested employees or contractors for drugs as required by Part 199 of the pipeline safety regulations. Scholl responded on March 19, 2010, asserting that the line was a distribution line, not a transmission line, and confirming that effective January 1, 2010, it was no longer the owner or operator of this pipeline. Scholl stated that the City of Glendale Water and Power was the new owner and operator. As you are aware, since March 2010, PHMSA has been working with the City of Glendale to ensure that the landfill gas line is in compliance with the pipeline safety regulations. My staff conducted an additional inspection in November 2011, confirming that the City of Glendale has made excellent progress toward compliance with the pipeline safety regulations. The City has hired and trained appropriate personnel and established operations and maintenance procedures as well as implementing a drug and alcohol program. Since the City of Glendale was not a party to the enforcement proceedings issued under CPF 5-2010-0009 and Scholl is no longer the operator, PHMSA is withdrawing the Notice of Probable Violation. This case is now closed. Thank you for your continued cooperation. Sincerely, Chris Hoidal Director, Western Region Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration CC: PHP-60 Compliance Registry PHP-500 T.
