Dear Mr. Barnard:
On September 25, 2008, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued to
Williams Gas Pipeline-Transco (Williams) a Corrective Action Order (CAO) following the failure on
Williams Line B near Appomattox, Virginia. This Order included requirements to take corrective actions
on the Charlottesville District section of the Williams Transco Gas Line System running from the
Reidsville Compressor Station to the Ellicott City Compressor Station. Williams requested and PHMSA
granted extensions of time for Williams to comply with those requirements set forth in this Order.
On October 13, 2011, a PHMSA Eastern Region (ER) representative met with Williams’ personnel at the
Williams Manassas Compressor Station offices. At that time, the PHMSA ER representative reviewed all
documents related to the requirements in this Order. Subsequently, on October 13, 2011, Williams
submitted a final report, along with supporting documentation, and requested the above-referenced case
be closed.
PHMSA ER made numerous field trips to the Charlottesville District to inspect the work being performed
to satisfy the terms of the CAO. Based on PHMSA ER review of the documentation that Williams
provided, it has been determined that Williams has complied with all the terms of this Order.
Accordingly, this case is now closed and no further action is contemplated with respect to the matters
involved in this case.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Byron Coy, PE
Director, Eastern Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
