Mr. Brian Sheppard
VP, Eastern Pipeline Operations
Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc.

Bridgeport, WV 26330
CPF 1-2018-1017
Dear Mr. Sheppard:
On August 6, 2018, Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc. (Dominion) was issued a Notice of
Probable Violation and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice), for the case number referenced
above. This Notice cited Dominion for lack of sufficient depth of soil cover. Specifically, under
49 C.F.R. § 192.13 and 49 C.F.R. § 192.327, it was alleged that Dominion failed to meet the Class
2 location cover requirements for replaced portions of its TL – 342 pipeline.
After meetings held between PHMSA and Dominion where additional information was provided,
PHMSA has decided not to pursue this probable violation.
This letter is to inform you that PHMSA hereby withdraws the Notice.
Sincerely,
Robert Burrough
Director, Eastern Region
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
