S. C. IJ 60117, representatives of the Central and Southern\nRegions, Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), inspected CITGO Pipeline Company's (Respondent's)\nintegrity management program at Respondent's facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As a result of the\ninspection, the Southern Regional Director, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated April 29,\n2002, a Notice of Amendment (NOA). The NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity\nmanagement program and proposed to require amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply\nwith the requirements of 49 C. F. R. tJ 195. 452(b).\nRespondent responded to the NOA by letter dated May 30, 2002 (Response). Respondent did not\ncontest the allegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing, consequently Respondent\nwaived its right to one. Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in\nits procedures that were identified in the NOA.\nIn its Response, Respondent indicated that it has adopted an overland transport analytical model and\nis implementing procedures that will address the inadequacies listed in the NOA. Respondent\nexplained that its model will reflect spill migration via streams and waterways. Respondent stated\nthat it has conducted, and will implement, air dispersion modeling of HVLs, created a '/i-mile buffer\nzone around each \"other\" pipeline facility, and will identify added HVL pipeline segments which\ncould affect HCAs. Finally, Respondent stated that it has \"initiated a comprehensive review to\ninsure that all in-service pipeline segments and related facilities have been captured and the\nassociated affects [sic) to HCA's have been completely identified. \" Respondent did not submit its\namended procedures showing it has incorporated these changes.\nAccordingly, I find that Respondent's integrity management program procedures are inadequate to\nensure safe operation of its pipeline system. Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. tJ 60108(a) and 49 C. F. R.\n) 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management\nprogram procedures. Respondent must:\n\n\n\nl. Amend its procedures for identifying pipeline segments that could affect high\nconsequence areas (HCAs) to consider spill migration via streams or waterways beyond\na I/4 mile buffer for all products, including highly volatile liquids (HVLs).\n2. Amend its procedures for identifying pipeline segments that could affect HCAs to account\nfor air dispersion of HVLs and overland transports (ditches, gullies, dry creek beds, etc. ).\n3. Amend its procedures for identifying pipeline segments that could affect HCAs to include\n\"other\" pipeline facilities, such as delivery terminals, breakout tanks, and pump stations.\nInclude adequate technical justification for implementing a '/i-mile buffer zone around\nthese \"other\" pipeline facilities.\n4. Verify its identification process to ensure all segments and facilities that could affect\nHCAs have been identified.\n5. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Southern Region, OPS within\n30 days following receipt of this Order Directing Amendment.\nThe Director, Southern Region, OPS, may grant an extension of time to comply with any of the\nrequired items upon a request by the Respondent demonstrating good cause for an extension.\nThe terms and conditions of this Order Directing Amendment are effective upon receipt.\nFailure to comply with this Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25, 000 per\nviolation per day, or in the referral of the case for judicial enforcement.\n(l6(, 3 I\nDate Issued\nStecoy Garard\n4h Associate Administrator\nfor Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":5573}
