Dear Mr. Townsend:
On February 26 - March 2, 2007, representatives of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA), pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected
your procedures for operations and maintenance in Artesia, New Mexico.
On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA has identified the apparent inadequacies found within
Holly Energy's procedures and are descried below:
1. 9195.402 Procedural manual for operations, maintenance, and emergencies
(a)General. Each operator shall prepare and follow for each pipeline system a
manual of written procedures for conducting normal operations and maintenance
activities and handling abnormal operations and emergencies. This manual shall
be reviewed at intervals not exceeding 15 months, but at least once each calendar
year, and appropriate changes made as necessary to insure that the manual is effective. This manual shall be prepared before initial operations of a pipeline
commence, and appropriate parts shall be kept at locations where operations and
maintenance activities are conducted.
.r



§195.402(f) Safety related condition reports.
Holly Energy procedures did not clearly state that employees are trained on an ongoing basis to
recognize safety related conditions. Holly Energy needs to amend their procedures to clarify
that employees are trained on an ongoing basis to recognize safety related conditions.
2. 5195.577 What must I do to alleviate interference currents? (a) For pipelines
exposed to stray currents, you must have a program to identify, test for, and
minimize the detrimental effects of such currents.
Holly Energy procedures do not have a prograrrr to identify, test for, and minimize the
detrimental effects of interference currents. Holly Energy needs to amend their procedures to
address the identification, testing for, and minimizing the detrimental effects of interference
currents.
