Dear Mr. Collier:
On August 16, 2013, a representative from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), pursuant to chapter 601 of 49 United
States Code, investigated an accident that occurred during the filling process of Breakout Tank
91 at Buckeye Partners, L.P.’s (Buckeye) Linden Station in Linden, NJ. As a result of the
investigation, Buckeye was issued a Notice of Amendment on November 25, 2013, which
proposed amendment of your procedures.
Buckeye submitted its amended procedures on January 23, 2014. My staff reviewed the
amended procedures, and it appears that the inadequacies outlined in this Notice of Amendment
have been corrected.
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
