As a result of the inspection, the Southern Regional\nDirector, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated May 6, 2002, a Notice of Amendment (NOA).\nThe NOA alleged inadequacies in Respondent's integrity management program and proposed to\nrequire amendment of Respondent's procedures to comply with the requirements of 49 C. F. R.\ntj 195. 452(b).\nRespondent responded to the NOA by letter dated June 5, 2002. Respondent did not contest the\nallegations set forth in the NOA and did not request a hearing; consequently, Respondent waived its\nright to one. However, Respondent described the actions it is taking to address the inadequacies in\nits procedures that were identified in the NOA.\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. $ 60108(a) and 49 C. F. R.\ntj 190. 237, Respondent is ordered to make the following changes to its integrity management\nprogram procedures. Respondent must-\nl. Amend the procedures for identifying segments that could affect a high consequence area\nto consider the zone beyond the high consequence area boundary and the pipeline\nintersect.\n2. Consider in its technical justification that non commercial navigable waterways, such as\nstreams, may act as a transport path beyond the 1/2-mile buffer for a highly volatile liquid\nrelease.\n\n\n\n3. Amend its segment identification process to include the most current ecological data in\nthe National Pipeline Mapping System.\n4. Submit the amended procedures to the Regional Director, Southern Region, OPS within\n30 days after receipt of this Order Directing Amendment.\n5. The Regional Director may extend the period for complying with the required items if the\nRespondent requests an extension and adequately justifies the reasons for the 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.\nOCT 2 3 2002\nDate\nQacey Qasard\nAssociate Administrator\nfor Pipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":4425}
