As a result of the inspection, Dominion was issued a Notice of Amendment (NOA) on July 13, 2012, which proposed amendment to its procedures. Subsequently, Dominion provided a response to this NOA, in a letter dated August 9, 2012. We reviewed Dominion’s response and determined that it did not address the inadequacy we found in its procedure. Therefore, we sent a letter, dated August 22, 2012, to Dominion, requesting it to amend the procedure and submit the amended procedures to us for review. Dominion submitted another letter dated, September 10, 2012, along with an amended procedure: SOP 060/09- Compressor Stations/Fixed Gas Detection and Alarm System. We have reviewed the amended procedures and it appears that the procedures have been corrected. Thus, 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#
