The Notice proposed finding that\nRespondent had committed violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and proposed assessing a civil\npenalty of $12,000 for one of the alleged violation. The Notice also proposed that Respondent\ntake certain measures to correct one of the alleged violations. Respondent submitted a wire\ntransfer in the amount of the proposed civil penalty ($12,000), waiving further right to respond\nand authorizing the entry of this Final Order.\nPursuant to 49 C.F.R. 8 190.213 and 49 U.S.C. 8 60122, I find that Respondent violated the\nfollowing sections of 49 C.F.R. Part 195, as more fully described in the Notice:\n49 C.F.R. 8 195.402(e)(9) (Notice Item 2) -failing to perform a post accident review for\nthe April 2003 12-inch Wood River line break.\n49 C.F.R. 8 195.579(a) (Notice Item 4) -failing to measure internal corrosion of the\npipeline at the Borger Crude Terminal.\nThese findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement\naction taken against Respondent. Having reviewed the record and considered the assessment\ncriteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $12,000 for violation of 8 195.579(a), already paid\nby Respondent.\nThe Notice also proposed a Compliance Order with respect to the violation of 8 195.402(e)(9).\nUnder 49 U.S.C. 8 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids\nor who owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety\n\n\n\nstandards established under Chapter 60 1. The Regional Director has indicated that Respondent\nhas taken the following actions specified in the Proposed Compliance Order. Respondent has\nperformed a post accident review for the April 2003 12-inch Wood River line break and\nsubmitted documentation of the review.\nAccordingly, since compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation, the compliance\nterms are not included in this Order.\nWARNING ITEMS\nThe Notice did not propose a civil penalty or corrective action for Items 1, 3 and 5 in the Notice;\ntherefore, these are considered warning items. Respondent is warned that if it does not take\nappropriate action to correct these items, enforcement action will be taken if a subsequent\ninspection reveals a violation. The warnings were for -\n49 C.F.R. tj 195.264 (Notice Item 1) -failing to maintain tank dike volumes at the same\nlevel of the tank capacities volumes at the COP Greenville facility. Tank dike volumes\nhave been reduced over time by sediment or erosion; and\n49 C.F.R. tj 195.404(a) (Notice Item 3) -failing to maintain current facility piping\ndiagrams; and\n49 C.F.R. tj 195.579(c) (Notice Item 5) -failing to inspect the internal surface of a pipe\nfor evidence of corrosion when the pipe had been removed from the pipeline.\nThe terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.\nDate Issued\nPipeline Safety","truncated":false,"body_characters":5103}
