FINAL ORDER
On August 3 1,2005, in accordance with 49 C.F.R. 8 190.207, the Director, Southwest Region,
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), issued Respondent a Notice of Probable Violation, Proposed
Civil Penalty and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice). The Notice proposed finding that
Respondent had committed violations of 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and proposed assessing a civil
penalty of $12,000 for one of the alleged violation. The Notice also proposed that Respondent
take certain measures to correct one of the alleged violations. Respondent submitted a wire
transfer in the amount of the proposed civil penalty ($12,000), waiving further right to respond
and authorizing the entry of this Final Order.
Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 8 190.213 and 49 U.S.C. 8 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. 8 195.402(e)(9) (Notice Item 2) -failing to perform a post accident review for
the April 2003 12-inch Wood River line break.
49 C.F.R. 8 195.579(a) (Notice Item 4) -failing to measure internal corrosion of the
pipeline at the Borger Crude Terminal.
These findings of violation will be considered prior offenses in any subsequent enforcement
action taken against Respondent. Having reviewed the record and considered the assessment
criteria, I assess Respondent a civil penalty of $12,000 for violation of 8 195.579(a), already paid
by Respondent.
The Notice also proposed a Compliance Order with respect to the violation of 8 195.402(e)(9).
Under 49 U.S.C. 8 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids
or who owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety



standards established under Chapter 60 1. The Regional Director has indicated that Respondent
has taken the following actions specified in the Proposed Compliance Order. Respondent has
performed a post accident review for the April 2003 12-inch Wood River line break and
submitted documentation of the review.
Accordingly, since compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation, the compliance
terms are not included in this Order.
WARNING ITEMS
The Notice did not propose a civil penalty or corrective action for Items 1, 3 and 5 in the Notice;
therefore, these are considered warning items. Respondent is warned that if it does not take
appropriate action to correct these items, enforcement action will be taken if a subsequent
inspection reveals a violation. The warnings were for -
49 C.F.R. tj 195.264 (Notice Item 1) -failing to maintain tank dike volumes at the same
level of the tank capacities volumes at the COP Greenville facility. Tank dike volumes
have been reduced over time by sediment or erosion; and
49 C.F.R. tj 195.404(a) (Notice Item 3) -failing to maintain current facility piping
diagrams; and
49 C.F.R. tj 195.579(c) (Notice Item 5) -failing to inspect the internal surface of a pipe
for evidence of corrosion when the pipe had been removed from the pipeline.
The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
