Wilson President Portland Pipe Line Corporation 30 Hill Street South Portland, ME 04106 CPF 1-2011-5005M Dear Mr. Wilson: From August 4-8, 2008, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code, conducted an inspection of Portland Pipe Line Corporation’s (Portland) procedures for Liquid Integrity Management (IM) Program in South Portland, Maine. As a result of the inspection, Portland was issued a Notice of Amendment (NOA) on June 27, 2011. On July 27, 2011, Portland submitted proposed amendments to its procedures. PHMSA provided Portland additional time to incorporate those proposed amendments in its IM program and submit them, along with other related existing procedures, for review. On September 30, 2011, Portland submitted its amended procedures and it appears that the inadequacies for Items 1A and 2A outlined in the above-referenced NOA have been corrected. Also, the existing procedures pertaining to Item 3A appear adequate. Therefore, this letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Byron Coy, PE Director, Eastern Region Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration#
