As a result of the inspection, CNYOG was\nissued an NOA on May 23, 2011. The NOA required CNYOG to amend certain procedures in\nits written operations and maintenance (O&M) manual.\nOn June 15, 2011, PHMSA received CNYOG’s existing procedures in response to the referenced\nNOA, which CNYOG believed addressed the NOA. Based on our review, we determined the\nexisting procedures are still inadequate; specifically, CNYOG did not adequately address\natmospheric corrosion monitoring requirements in the existing O&M procedures, or in the\nCNYOG form to be completed when atmospheric corrosion is discovered.\nAs a result of our review, CNYOG was issued a Region response for information letter on\nDecember 28, 2011, notifying CNYOG that the existing procedures PHMSA received on June\n15, 2011, are still inadequate.\nOn February 13, 2012, PHMSA received via e-mail CNYOG amended procedures in a response\ndated January 25, 2012.\nOn March 1, 2012, a member of my staff sent Mr. John Shaffer of CNYOG an e-mail that\nprovided PHMSA public guidance information indicating that the amended CNYOG procedures\nappeared to still be inadequate; specifically, CNYOG did not adequately address atmospheric\n\n\n\ncorrosion monitoring requirements as required in §192.481(c): “If atmospheric corrosion is\nfound during an inspection, the operator must provide protection against the corrosion as\nrequired by §192.479 (c).” The CNYOG amended procedures appeared not to comply with the\nactions required by §192.479 (c) by excluding adequate atmospheric corrosion protection at soil-\nto-air interfaces.\nOn March 26, 2012, PHMSA received CNYOG amended procedures in a response dated March\n23, 2012.\nMy staff reviewed the amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this\nNotice of Amendment have been corrected.\nThis letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you\nfor your cooperation.\nSincerely,\nByron E. Coy, P.E.\nDirector, Eastern Region\nPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration\nCc: Mr. Kevin Speicher, NYS DPS","truncated":false,"body_characters":3841}
