Dear Ms. Yaege:
On October l6-20, October 30 - November 3, November 13-17 and December ll-15,2006, a
representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected yourpipeline facilities in Illinois,
Kansas, Missouri, and Indiana.
As a result of the inspection, it appears that you have committed probable violations of the
Pipeline Safety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. The items inspected and
the probable violations are:
1. S195.404 Maps and Records.
(c) Each operator shall maintain the following records for the periods specified;
(3) A record of each inspection and test required by this subpart shall be
maintained for at least 2 years or until the next inspection or test is
performed, whichever is longer.
(a) ConocoPhillips failed to properly maintain the overpressure protection records for two
pump stations. The "Pressure Protection Device Inspection and Test" records did not
record the actual test pressure for the High Discharge Shutdown set point, nor the
Control Valve set point. The inspection form's o'Required Pressure Setting" column



listed 4 - 20 mA and 0-1500 #. This data is the current in amperage output range of
the transducer and the associated pressure rangeo not the actual test pressure shut down
set point. The actual test pressures were not recorded on the test records for
overpressure protection for the following pump stations on the dates listed:
Syracuse Pump Station Blue a:rd Gold P/L May 15, 2006
December 2,2005

November 28,2005

2. 5195.567 Which pipelines must have test leads and what must I do to install and
maintain the leads?
(c) Maintenance. You must maintain the test lead wires in a condition that enables
you to obtain electrical measurements to determine whether cathodic protection
complies with Sec. 195.571,
ConocoPhillips did not maintdn the test lead wires on the Gold P,IL at MP 183 08+50 and
MP 217 06+29. The test leads were determined to be defective during the 2005 annual
corrosion control survey, but their repair was overlooked during your test lead repair
prpgram in 2006 prior to the 2006 anaual survey. ConocoPhillips has reported that the
test leads were repaired and that cathodic protection levels were adequate.
Under 49 United States Code, g 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
