Agreement. Respondent neither admits nor denies any allegation or conclusion in the Notice or this Agreement but agrees for purposes of this Agreement to comply with the terms of this II. Findings of Violation: 12. Item 1- 49 C.F.R. § 195.412(a): The Notice alleged that CRCT failed to satisfy the requirements of § 195.412(a) by not using an appropriate method for inspecting the pipeline right- of-way. Specifically, the Notice alleged that during the field inspection at the Hooser-Broome 8” pipeline segment west of Bee Creek Valve (Lat. 37.053019, Long. -95.966233), PHMSA observed that CRCT failed to adequately clear the right-of-way of tree cover, thereby preventing effective aerial patrolling. Respondent did not contest the allegation in Item 1 of the Notice but provided additional information to PHMSA and requested mitigation or elimination of the proposed civil penalty. As such, PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.412(a). 13. Item 2- 49 C.F.R. § 195.573: The Notice alleged that CRCT failed to satisfy the Requirements of § 195.573(a)(1) by not performing cathodic protection testing on the protected Shidler pipeline segment within the required interval of at least once each calendar year, but not exceeding 15 months. Specifically, the Notice alleged that the Shidler cathodic protection test surveys were conducted on February 28, 2018 and June 17, 2019, which exceeded the allowable 15-month interval by 20 days. Respondent did not contest the allegation in Item 2 of the Notice but provided additional information to PHMSA and requested elimination of the proposed civil#
32023008NOPV_Consent Agreement and Order_01022024_(21-207275)_text.pdf, page 6penalty. As such, PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.573(a)(1). 14. Item 3- 49 C.F.R. § 195.573(e): The Notice alleged that CRCT failed to satisfy the Requirements of § 195.573(e) by failing to correct identified deficiencies in its corrosion control. Specifically, the Notice alleged that during the inspection of corrosion control records, PHMSA found that CRCT’s inspections in calendar years 2020 and 2021 for four of its steel breakout tanks showed that the minimum protection criteria of NACE SP 0169 was not met as required by § 195.571. Respondent did not contest the allegation in Item 3 of the Notice but provided additional information to PHMSA and requested mitigation of the proposed civil penalty. As such, PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.573(e). 15. Item 4- 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a): The Notice alleged that CRCT failed to satisfy the Requirements of § 195.581(a) by failing to provide protection against atmospheric corrosion by cleaning and coating each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the atmosphere. Specifically, the Notice alleged that during PHMSA’s field inspection PHMSA observed severely degraded and dis-bonded coating and large sections of rusted/corroded bare steel on exposed portions of CRCT’s pipelines at six locations. Respondent did not contest the allegation in Item 4 of the Notice but provided additional information to PHMSA and requested mitigation of the proposed civil penalty. As such, PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.581(a). 16. Item 5- 49 C.F.R. § 195.589(c): The Notice alleged that CRCT failed to satisfy the requirements of § 195.589(c) by failing to maintain records of cathodic protection surveys for calendar years 2018 and 2019 for East Tank Farm breakout tanks 22A1, 22A2, 22A3 and Hooser Tanks 25 and 270 due to a data processing error discovered in 2020. Specifically, the Notice alleged that the device used by CRCT field personnel to capture cathodic protection readings had unknown internal memory limitations, which resulted in the data being overwritten when performing surveys across the system. Respondent did not contest the allegation in Item 5 of the Notice but provided additional information to PHMSA and requested elimination of the proposed civil penalty. As such, PHMSA finds a violation of 49 C.F.R. § 195.589(c). 17. Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be considered by PHMSA as prior offenses in any future PHMSA enforcement action taken against Respondent for the five (5)-year period following the Effective Date of this Agreement. III. Civil Penalty: 18. Item 1: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $24,200 for Item 1. Respondent requested a reduction or elimination of the proposed civil penalty, and, with its responses, provided new information and evidence to support its request. Respondent provided evidence that CRCT found the non-compliance and took documented action to address the non- compliance and was in the process of correcting the non-compliance before PHMSA learned of the violation. Consequently, after consideration of the new information and evidence provided by Respondent, PHMSA agrees a reduction of the civil penalty based on reconsideration of the culpability assessment factor is appropriate, which results in a civil penalty of $0. Therefore, PHMSA agrees to withdraw the proposed civil penalty for the violation in Item 1.#
32023008NOPV_Consent Agreement and Order_01022024_(21-207275)_text.pdf, page 719. Item 2: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $24,200 for Item 2. Respondent requested elimination of the proposed civil penalty based on three arguments: that the repeat offense finding was inappropriate, that its post-violation actions should be taken into consideration, and that COVID-19 made it difficult to comply with the regulation. PHMSA finds that the repeat offense is appropriate, post-violation action is not considered in calculating civil penalties, and per the March 20, 2020, Covid Stay of Enforcement and Notice of Enforcement Discretion, operators had to promptly notify and disclose to PHMSA any non-compliance resulting from COVID-19, which CRCT did not do. Therefore, no reduction of the civil penalty is appropriate. Respondent agrees to pay a civil penalty of $24,200 for the violation of Item 2. 20. Item 3: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $70,700 for Item 3. Respondent requested a reduction of the proposed civil penalty, and, with its responses, provided new information and evidence to support its request. Respondent provided evidence that CRCT found the non-compliance and took documented action to address the non-compliance and was in the process of correcting the non-compliance before PHMSA learned of the violation. Respondent also provided evidence that it had a reasonable justification for its non-compliance, i.e., that it was using depolarization measurements to the cathodic protection readings to demonstrate that a number of readings were in compliance with the NACE standard. Consequently, after consideration of the new information and evidence provided by Respondent, PHMSA agrees a reduction of the civil penalty based on reconsideration of the culpability and good faith assessment factors is appropriate, which results in a civil penalty of $26,000. Respondent agrees to pay a reduced civil penalty in the amount of $26,000 for the violation in Item 3. 21. Item 4: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $26,000 for Item 4. Respondent requested a reduction of the proposed civil penalty based on an argument that between the 2019 and 2022 inspections, it repaired the observed atmospheric corrosion prior to the receipt of the Notice, and thus the good faith factor should be adjusted. PHMSA finds that these actions were taken after PHMSA had already identified the violation and therefore are not considered in calculating the civil penalty. In addition, Respondent failed to provide a reasonable justification for its non-compliance, which is required for an adjustment of the good faith factor. Therefore, no reduction of the civil penalty is appropriate. Respondent agrees to pay a civil penalty of $26,000 for the violation in Item 4. 22. Item 5: The Notice proposed assessing a civil penalty in the amount of $1,800 for Item 5. Respondent requested that PHMSA withdraw Item 5 as Respondent had addressed the issue of record retention. PHMSA finds that the actions were taken after PHMSA had already identified the violation and therefore are not considered in calculating the civil penalty. Therefore, no reduction of the civil penalty is appropriate. Respondent agrees to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $1,800 for Item 5. 23. Respondent agrees to pay an adjusted total civil penalty in the amount of $78,000, pursuant to the payment instructions at 49 C.F.R. § 190.227(a), to be paid in full no later than 20 days from the Effective Date of this Agreement.#
32023008NOPV_Consent Agreement and Order_01022024_(21-207275)_text.pdf, page 8IV. Compliance Order: 24. Item 1: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non- compliance alleged in the Notice. Respondent provided supporting documents in its Response demonstrating that Respondent has completed the proposed compliance terms for this Item. Therefore, PHMSA agrees it is not necessary to include the proposed compliance terms for this Item. 25. Item 3: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non- compliance alleged in the Notice. Respondent did not contest the Proposed Compliance Order. One of the steel tanks (Tank 270) identified and alleged to have been in non-compliance during the inspection has been permanently removed from service. As such, Respondent agrees to perform the following corrective measures: A. In regard to Item 3 of the Notice pertaining to CRCT failing to correct identified deficiencies in its corrosion control as required by § 195.401(b), CRCT must provide to the Director, Central Region, records demonstrating cathodic protection for the remaining three steel breakout tanks meet the minimum protection criteria of NACE SP 0169 as required by § 195.571 within 180 days of receipt of the Final Order.1 B. PHMSA requests that CRCT maintain documentation of the safety improvement costs associated with fulfilling this Compliance Order and submit the total to the Director, Central Region, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. It is requested that these costs be reported in two categories: 1) total cost associated with preparation/revision of plans, procedures, studies and analyses, and 2) total cost associated with replacements, additions and other changes to pipeline infrastructure.2 26. Item 4: The Notice proposed certain compliance order actions to address the non- compliance alleged in the Notice. Respondent provided supporting documents in its Response demonstrating that Respondent has completed the proposed compliance terms for this Item. Therefore, PHMSA agrees it is not necessary to include the proposed compliance terms for this Item. V. Enforcement: 27. This Agreement is subject to all enforcement authorities available to PHMSA under 49 U.S.C. § 60101, et seq., and 49 C.F.R. Part 190, including administrative civil penalties under 49 U.S.C. § 60122, of up to $257,664 per violation for each day the violation continues and referral of the case to the Attorney General for judicial enforcement, if PHMSA determines that Respondent is not complying with the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the determinations made by the Director, or in accordance with decisions of the Associate Administrator if resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution process herein. The maximum civil 1 This Proposed Compliance Order term was originally term B in the Notice. 2 This Proposed Compliance Order term was originally term D in the Notice.#

If the Director disapproves all or any portion of the submission, the Director will provide Respondent a written notice of the deficiencies. Respondent will correct all deficiencies within the time specified by the Director and resubmit it for approval. VII. Dispute Resolution: 29. The Director and Respondent will informally attempt to resolve any disputes arising under this Agreement, including any decision of the Director under the terms of Section IV, Compliance Order. If Respondent and the Director are unable to informally resolve the dispute within 15 calendar days after the dispute is first raised, in writing, to the Director, Respondent may submit a written request for a determination resolving the dispute from the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety, PHMSA. Such request must be made in writing and provided to the Director, counsel for the Central Region, and to the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety, no later than 10 calendar days from the 15-day deadline for informal resolution referenced in this paragraph. Along with its request, Respondent must provide the Associate Administrator with all information Respondent believes is relevant to the dispute. Decisions of the Associate Administrator under this paragraph will constitute final agency action. The existence of a dispute and PHMSA’s consideration of matters placed in dispute will not excuse, toll, or suspend any term or timeframe for completion of any work to be performed under this Agreement during the pendency of the dispute resolution process. VIII. Effective Date: 30. The term “Effective Date,” as used herein, is the date on which the Consent Order is issued by the Associate Administrator, PHMSA, incorporating the terms of this Agreement.
