Dear Mr. Warren:
On July I I -13, 2006, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected your
Integrity Management Program (IMP) in El Dorado, Arkansas.
As a result of the inspection, it appears that you have committed probable violations of Part 195
Pipeline Safety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. The items inspected and
the probable violations are:
1. $195.452(0 What are the elements of an integrity managem€nt program? (3) An
analysis that integrates all available information about the integrity of the entire
pipeline and the consequences ofa failure.
Lion Oil did not have documentation of the numbers used in its risk model for ranking
the pipeline segments in the baseline plan.
2, $195.452(h) What actions must an operator take to address integrity issues? (l)
General requirements. An operator must take prompt action to address all
anomalous conditions that the operator discovers through the integrity
assessment or information analvsis.
The company performed an integrity assessment on a 7 mile segment of 10" pipeline
which was out of service and Iocated in Jefferson County, Texas. The segment is part



of the Paline System operating in Texas. Records indicated that all anomalies known
to be immediate, 60-day, and 180-day conditions as noted in the IMP rule were
removed. However, no dates were documented for discovery. This information would
be significant for future integrity assessment of the pipeline and consideration of
operating service for the segment. The segment remains out of service and has never
operated in service after it was purchased in 1989.
3.
§195.452(f)(8) What are the elements of an integrity management program? (8) A
process for review of integrity assessment results and information analysis by a
person qualified to evaluate the results and information.
The company did not have documentation on the qualifications of individuals that
review and evaluate assessment results.
Under 49 United States Code, § 60122, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed
$100,000 for each violation for each day the violations persists up to a maximum of $1,000,000
for any related series of violations. We have reviewed the circumstances and supporting
documents involved in this case, and have decided not to conduct additional enforcement action
or penalty assessment proceedings at this time. We advise you to correct the items) identified
in this letter. Be advised that failure to do so will result in Lion Oil being subject to additional
enforcement action.
No reply to this letter is required. If you choose to reply, in your correspondence please refer to
