The CAO specifically addressed FGT’s 18-inch pipeline segment that extends approximately 56.8 miles from Ft. Pierce (Station 20) to Cutler, Florida. This letter is to inform you that the Southern Region has reviewed all the actions taken by FGT with respect to the CAO and we find that FGT has complied with the terms of the CAO. No further actions are necessary with regards to the CAO. This case is now closed. Accordingly, all pressure restrictions established by the CAO are withdrawn. FGT can return this pipeline segment to its maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP). Please be advised that this letter refers only to the CAO (CPF 2-2009-1002H) and not to any other PHMSA pending cases. Also be advised that nothing herein states or implies that the above described pipeline segment meet the requirements of the federal pipeline safety regulations. The pipeline system remains subject to inspection by PHMSA. Sincerely, Wayne T. Lemoi Director, Office of Pipeline Safety PHMSA Southern Region#
