Dwayne Burton\nVice President Gas Pipeline Operations and Engineering\nNatural Gas Pipeline Company of America\n500 Dallas Street, Suite 1000\nHouston, TX 77002\nCPF 4-2005-1011H\nDear Mr. Burton:\nOn May 13, 2005, Natural Gas Pipeline of America (NGPL) experienced a failure of its Gulf\nCoast Mainline 36-inch #3 natural gas pipeline near Marshall, TX. As a result of the incident the\nPipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) issued a Corrective Action Order\n(CAO), 4-2005-1011H, dated May 26, 2005, requiring NGPL to take corrective actions with\nrespect to its Gulf Coast Mainline natural gas pipeline system.\nThe cause of the failure was determined to be Near-Neutral Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC)\nand NGPL presented a plan of corrective measures with annual updates designed to prevent\nadditional in-service failures. Through field and record inspections over the past five years,\nPHMSA has determined that NGPL has substantially completed the requirements of the CAO.\nBecause of the ongoing nature of SCC issues, NGPL agreed to incorporate the processes of\ndetecting, evaluating, and remediating SCC developed during the work performed under the\nCAO into your Operations and Maintenance procedures. Consequently, PHMSA believes that it\nis not necessary to continue to monitor this work under the authority of the CAO. This case is\nnow closed.\nSincerely,\nR. M. Seeley\nDirector, Southwest Region\nPipeline and Hazardous\nMaterials Safety Administration","truncated":false,"body_characters":2258}
