July 16, 2014 CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Troy Valenzuela
Vice President, Environmental, Health, & Safety
Plains Marketing, L.P.
333 Clay Street, Suite 1600
Houston, TX 77002 CPF No. 4-2013-5008M
Dear Mr. Valenzuela:
On various dates in 2011 and 2012, representatives of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected the
Plains procedures. As a result of these inspections a Notice of Amendment (NOA) was issued
on April 5, 2013 to Plains. Plains responded by letter dated May 9, 2013 with procedure
revisions and did not request a hearing. PHMSA reviewed the response and found that Plains
had summarized the procedures revisions but had not submitted revised procedures. On
February 27, 2014, PHMSA requested that the revised procedures be submitted for review. The
PHMSA review of the procedures found that additional revisions were required. On March 12,
2014, PHMSA identified the issues to Plains and requested that the Operator make additional
revisions.
On March 26, 2014, Plains provided via email, a proposed timeline for submitting the additional
revisions. Plains submitted via email proposed revisions to Items 3, 10, and 13 on April 1, 2014.
The proposed additional revisions for Item 7 were submitted by Plains on May 2, 2014, and for
Item 4, May 28, 2014. Based upon a review of the Plains submissions, PHMSA has determined
that the procedural revisions made by Plains are acceptable.
This letter is to inform you no further action is necessary and this case is now closed.
Sincerely,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
