FINAL ORDER
On March 11, 2003, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. 8 190.207, the Director, Southwest Region,
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), issued to Respondent a Notice of Probable Violation and
Proposed Civil Penalty (Notice). The Notice proposed finding that Respondent had committed
violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and proposed assessing a civil penalty of $7,000 for the alleged
violations. Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated April 4, 2003 and provided
information concerning its payment of the proposed civil penalty. Respondent submitted a wire
transfer in the amount of the proposed civil penalty ($7,000), waiving further right to respond
and authorizing the entry of this Final Order.
Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 5 190.213 'and 49 U.S.C. 5 60122, I find that Respondent violated the
following sections of 49 C.F.R. Part 195, as more fully described in the Notice:
49 C.F.R. § 195.401(b) - failing to correct within a reasonable time cathodic protection
readings less negative than the -0.850V criteria set by Respondent; and
49 C.F.R. $ 195.402(~)(3) - failing to include in the manual for operations, maintenance
and repair a procedure for maintaining pump station operating records.
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent. I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $7,000 already paid by
Respondent. The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
