Pearson\nSenior Vice President\nMagellan Pipeline Company, LP\nOne Williams Center.\nTulsa, OK, 74172\nCPF 4-2017-5007W\nDear Mr. Pearson\nOn July 11 through October 27, 2016, a representative of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials\nSafety Administration (PHMSA) pursuant to Chapter 601 of 49 United States Code inspected your\nTexas City Crude and Refined Products Systems in Texas City, TX.\nAs a result of the inspection, it is alleged that you have committed a probable violation of the\nPipeline Safety Regulations, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. The item inspected and the\nprobable violation is:\n1. §195.583 What must I do to monitor atmospheric corrosion control?\n(a) You must inspect each pipeline or portion of pipeline that is exposed to the\natmosphere for evidence of atmospheric corrosion, as follows:\n\n\n\nIf the pipeline is located: Onshore Offshore Then the frequency of inspection is:\nAt least once every 3 calendar years, but with\nintervals not exceeding 39 months\nAt least once each calendar year, but with\nintervals not exceeding 15 months\nMagellan failed to conduct an atmospheric corrosion inspection at least once every 3 calendar\nyears, but with intervals not exceeding 39 months as required by §195.583 for two aboveground\nmainline valves at Carr Junction. Based on a review of atmospheric corrosion control records, it\ndoes not appear that the tests required by §195.583 were performed. Furthermore, Magellan\nindicated that the valves were never included in a documented atmospheric inspection performed\nby a previous Operator and subsequently no atmospheric inspection records were generated.\nUnder 49 United States Code, § 60122, you are subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $205,638\nper violation per day the violation persists up to a maximum of $2,056,380 for a related series of\nviolations. For violation occurring between January 4, 2012 to August 1, 2016, the maximum\npenalty may not exceed $200,000 per violation per day, with a maximum penalty not to exceed\n$2,000,000 for a related series of violations. For violations occurring prior to January 4, 2012, the\nmaximum penalty may not exceed $100,000 per violation per day, with a maximum penalty not to\nexceed $1,000,000 for a related series of violations. We have reviewed the circumstances and\nsupporting documents involved in this case, and have decided not to conduct additional\nenforcement action or penalty assessment proceedings at this time. We advise you to correct the\nitem(s) identified in this letter. Failure to do so will result in Magellan Pipeline Company, LP\nbeing subject to additional enforcement action.\nNo reply to this letter is required. If you choose to reply, in your correspondence please refer to\nCPF 4-2017-5007W. Be advised that all material you submit in response to this enforcement\naction is subject to being made publicly available. If you believe that any portion of your\nresponsive material qualifies for confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b), along with the\ncomplete original document you must provide a second copy of the document with the portions\nyou believe qualify for confidential treatment redacted and an explanation of why you believe the\nredacted information qualifies for confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b).\nSincerely,\nR.M.
