The rupture resulted in the release of approximately 18,400 barrels of ethane/propane mix into an agricultural field and was not located in a High Consequence Area (HCA). The product did ignite, and an explosion associated with the rupture produced a crater in the ground approximately 36 feet long and 22 feet wide. A section of pipe approximately 33 feet in length was ejected from the ditch during the failure. The pipe that was ejected from the ditch broke apart into 12 different pieces, which were recovered from the corn field. No fatalities or injuries occurred as a result of the failure. A total of five roads were closed and 32 homes evacuated as a result of the fire and explosion. The total cost of the failure, emergency response, pipeline repair, and environmental cleanup is estimated at $515,000. PHMSA worked with the operator throughout the week of August 12 to review and approve a restart plan including a 20 percent reduction in maximum operating pressure, have metallurgical specialists on- site before sections of the pipe failure were transferred, provide detailed emergency response timelines, review metallurgical protocols, review previous close internal survey (CIS) and inline inspection (ILI) data, and identify go forward integrity actions. The fracture propagated both upstream and downstream from the origin of the failure. Metallurgical analysis determined that the pipe failure was caused by a defect that formed in the longitudinal ERW (HF) pipe seam. The defect was a combination of two flaws: an external surface breaking hook crack and a crack that formed at the base of the hook crack and that grew to a critical size over time. Significant corrosion by-products were also found present during the failure metallurgical analysis. Three failure mechanisms were present and possible: 1) Environmental cracking such as SCC, 2) Pressure-cycle induced fatigue crack growth, and 3) Corrosion-fatigue. As a result of the failure and in concert with PHMSA discussion, Enterprise performed a hydrotest on the Morris Lateral (LID 624), and an additional failure occurred during the hydrotest at MP 32.66. This failed pipe also received a metallurgical analysis. The metallurgical analysis for the hydrotest failure identified the failure cause as SCC (near-nuetral ph). System Details The Morris Lateral (LID 624) is also known as the Red Line and transports an ethane-propane mix from Iowa City, IA, to the Lyondell petrochemical plants in Morris, IL, and Clinton, IA. An AuxsAble terminal called Channahon is located on the east end of the Morris Lateral, also called the Red Line in Illinois. The pipeline is a bi-directional line, but at the time of the failure the flow was from west to east. The pump stations from west to east are located in Iowa and are as follows: Iowa City Terminal, Clinton, and Willow. AuxAble is able to inject into the Morris Lateral at MP 107, therefore both AuxAble and Enterprise are capable of delivering ethane-propane to Morris/Lyondell and Clinton/Lyondell locations. At the failure location, the pipeline is constructed of API 5LX Grade X-52 line pipe manufactured in 1973 1 This Failure Investigation Report is based upon facts and information available to PHMSA at the time of issuance. Any statements, conclusions, appendices, data summary, or findings stated herein are subject to revision and do not constitute any final determination about the need for further investigation or enforcement action by any government agency. 2 All times reflect Central Daylight Time (CDT) zone unless otherwise specifically noted.

The pipeline is 10.750-inch O.D., 0.188-inch wall thickness, high frequency ERW type pipe coated with cold applied tape. The pipeline is protected by an impressed current type of cathodic protection system. 3 The nearest residence was located approximately 600 yards south of the rupture location. The nearest railroad line was located 2.75 miles north of the rupture site. The Morris Lateral’s maximum operating pressure (MOP) is 1,307 psig, which is equivalent to 72 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe. The pipeline was hydrostatically tested in 1986 with an 8-hour test and a minimum pressure of 1,741 psig, which was equivalent to 95.7 percent of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe. Documentation indicated that the highest historical operating pressure for a portion of the pipeline from Clinton to MP 55.45 is 1,225 psig. Enterprise reported that during the 1986 hydrostatic test, the line was tested in 11 segments, and 3 experienced failures (two from mechanical damage and one from a pinhole in a weld). The metallurgical report indicated that no hydrotest failures were recorded for this section of the pipeline that failed on August 12, 2013. Events Leading up to the Failure At approximately 6:09 p.m. on August 12, 2013, the controller started Pump No. 1 at the Willow pump station in order to meet scheduled product delivery requirements. At 10:57 p.m., the discharge pressure at the Willow pump station reached 1,254 psig, which was the highest pressure that was recorded at the station just prior to the failure. This was also the highest pressure observed at this station in the 60 days prior to the failure, and for a portion of the pipeline, exceeded the highest historical operating pressure of 1,225 psig. At 11:10 p.m., the discharge pressure at the Willow station dropped rapidly from 1,252 psig to 1,232 psig in a 15-second poll. At the same time, the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department started to receive 911 calls of a fire north of I-80 and Erie Bridge. At 11:11 p.m., the pressure continued to drop at the Willow station to 1,166 psig. The pressure was also dropping at the Van Orin block valve from 1,034 psig to 1,011 psig. However, the pressure at Collins Lake Block valve was holding at 931 psig. At 11:14 p.m., the Erie Fire Department was dispatched to the accident site. At approximately 11:16 p.m., on August 12, 2013, Pump No. 1 at the Willow pump station shut down because of low suction pressure and the SCADA system sensed a significant pressure drop on the pipeline. The Houston Pipeline Control issued a start command to the Willow station Pump No. 2 at 11:17 p.m., however the Pump No. 2 failed to start due to low pressure on the pump suction. The controller suspected a line break leak had occurred and requested that the operator at the Iowa City pump station shut down the pumps at that location. At 11:23 p.m., Pump No. 1 at the Iowa City station was shut down, and callouts to Enterprise personnel were started by 11:29 p.m. Emergency Response A resident who lives near the intersection of Albany Road and Stropes Road in Whiteside County, IL, called the Erie Fire Protection District at 11:14 p.m. on August 12, 2013, to report a large fire in a corn 3 Tape coating systems may shield the pipe from cathodic protection currents, resulting in ineffective protection. Page 3 of 8 <<>> Failure Investigation Report – Enterprise Products Operating LLC – Material Failure Failure Date 08/12/2013 field. Erie Fire Protection District personnel were dispatched to the Albany Road location and arrived at the scene at 11:23 p.m. The Fire District personnel were able to determine that the fire was associated with a pipeline that had ruptured. Product that was released from the pipeline ignited, and flames from the fire reached heights up to 250 feet above the ground. At 11:25 p.m., the controller closed MOV 9013 at Iowa City. By 11: 45 p.m., the Iowa City Terminal operator had received a call from Cochin Pipeline’s control room stating that they had been made aware of a pipeline fire in Illinois, and Enterprise technicians were being mobilized between Morris and Iowa City. Alternate supply by AuxsAble to Morris/Lyondell was established by 11: 48 p.m. At 11:58 p.m. the control room received a call from a farmer located near the pipeline who reported observing the fire. The Fire District personnel determined that the pipeline was operated by Enterprise Products Pipeline LLC and called the Enterprise Pipeline emergency number at approximately 12:00 a.m. on August 13, 2013. After the call from the Fire District, the Enterprise control room notified the Illinois Highway Patrol of the situation. Enterprise Pipeline Company personnel and Erie Fire Protection District personnel discussed the situation and together it was decided to set up a one-mile safety buffer around the rupture site. Fire district personnel, with the assistance of other emergency responders, blocked five roads within the safety buffer zone and evacuated all 32 residences that were located within the safety buffer zone. Other emergency responders that assisted with activities at the accident location included the Erie Police Department, the Fulton Police Department, the Prophetstown Police Department, the Illinois State Police, the Whiteside Sherriff’s Department, and the Albany Fire Department. At 12:04 a.m. on August 13, 2013, the controller closed the MOVs at MP 55 and MP 116, which isolated a 61-mile segment of the pipeline. On August 13, 2013, Enterprise Product Pipeline notified the National Response Center (NRC) of the release at 12:17 a.m. (1:17 ET). The #3 MOV at Willow station (MP 2) was closed by the controller at 12:17 a.m. and the manual valve at MP 107 was closed by operations personnel at 12:35 a.m. Enterprise Pipeline Company personnel began to arrive at the accident location at 1:03 a.m. Operations personnel closed the manual valve at MP 26 at 1:22 a.m. and the manual valve at MP 27 at 1:32 a.m. A total of four Enterprise employees including the Regional Manager were at the site by 2:17 a.m. The manual valve at MP 16 was closed at 2:35 a.m., isolating the line segment between MP 16 and MP 26. The occupants of all but two of the residences were allowed to return home by approximately 4:00 a.m. At approximately 5:30 a.m. Enterprise Pipeline employees and the Erie District Fire Chief went to inspect the immediate area of the rupture determined to be MP 16.2. The area was determined to be safe and the fire was deemed under control. At that point the occupants of the final two residences were allowed to return home, the roads were opened, and the Erie Fire district personnel were released from the scene. The Whiteside County ESDA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 also responded to the scene. COMED inspected the electric power lines in the area and no damage was reported. Summary of Return-to-Service On the evening of August 14, 2013, excavation activities commenced at the rupture site. The initial goal of the excavation activities was to locate the girth weld immediately downstream of the rupture, located Page 4 of 8 <<>> Failure Investigation Report – Enterprise Products Operating LLC – Material Failure Failure Date 08/12/2013 approximately 35 feet to the east of the crater. Enterprise submitted the repair plan to PHMSA on the morning of August 15 and that plan was approved in the afternoon of August 15. Excavation of the damaged section of the pipeline continued into the evening of August 15. At that point the length of the exposed pipeline was approximately 250 feet. Girth welds at each end of the exposed pipe were located and cuts were made at the girth welds and the exposed pipeline was removed from the ditch. The ends of the pipe that remained in the ditch were prepared for welding and then examined nondestructively to ensure that the pipe ends were free of any injurious defects. While the excavation was proceeding, new replacement pipe was delivered to the repair site and was welded into a 300-foot long segment with end caps. The pipe and end caps were welded together by qualified welders who followed a qualified welding procedure. The welds were radiographed and met the requirements of API 1104. The replacement pipe segment was located above ground adjacent to the excavation. It was filled with water and placed on hydrostatic at 2:45 p.m. on August 16, 2013. The replacement pipe segment was tested to a pressure of 2,000 psig, which is equivalent to 110 percent SMYS. The test was complete at 7:28 p.m. on August 16. After the test was complete, the segment was dewatered, the end caps were cut off, and the segment was cut into two segments to facilitate installation in the ditch. The replacement pipe segments were placed in the ditch and aligned with the ends of the existing pipeline. The three welds were completed early in the morning of August 17. The welds were radiographed and met the requirements of API 1104. After receiving PHMSA approval, Enterprise initiated the start-up plan at 7:00 a.m. on the morning of August 17 by notifying the first responders in the area of the pipeline failure that the pipeline was being re-started. After the notifications were made, the pipeline segment between the valve at MP 16 and MP 26, which contained the repair segment, was purged with nitrogen. At 2:10 p.m. Enterprise began filling that portion of the pipeline with product. At 6:00 p.m. the pressure in the line reached 860 psig and that segment of the line was placed on a 2-hour hold test in accordance with the start-up plan. During the hold test, aerial patrols were conducted and the line was monitored through the SCADA system to ensure it was leak free. At 8:00 p.m. the control room took over operation of the pipeline and was allowed to operate the line with an MOP of 960 psig at the Willow pump station. This represents a 20 percent reduction from the pressure at the time of the failure. Investigation Details PHMSA worked with the operator through teleconferences and data exchange throughout the week of August 12 to review and approve a restart plan including a 20 percent reduction in maximum operating pressure, have metallurgical specialists on-site before sections of the pipe failure were transferred, provide detailed emergency response timelines, review metallurgical protocols, review previous CIS and ILI data, and identify go forward integrity actions. After the area was declared safe on the morning of August 13, Enterprise began initial site investigation and located 11 small pieces of steel pipe that had been ejected from the ditch when the pipeline ruptured. The pieces were numbered and cataloged by the location of each piece. A twelfth pipe fragment was subsequently located. On August 13, 2013, at approximately 1:36 p.m., a PHMSA Central Region Investigator arrived on scene. The investigator photographed and diagrammed the scene and then interviewed Enterprise personnel and first responders. On August 14, a metallurgist from Kiefner and Associates arrived at the failure site Page 5 of 8 <<>> Failure Investigation Report – Enterprise Products Operating LLC – Material Failure Failure Date 08/12/2013 and began conducting an investigation into the cause of the failure, which included a visual examination of the failure site and magnetic particle inspections on some of the failed pieces of pipe. Detailed measurements of the longitudinal seam on each pipe fragment were made to ensure that all fragments had been located. Once it was determined that all pieces had been found, each fragment was processed and loaded onto a truck on August 16 for shipment to Kiefner’s laboratory in Columbus, OH. A chain of custody document was prepared to ensure proper handling of the samples. On August 15, 2013, Enterprise continued the site investigation and took a Ph reading in the crater (5.5). A pipe to soil reading at the failure location and A/C reading at the same location were recorded as - 1.848 volts and 12.2 volts respectively. While the failure area was not in an HCA, integrity data indicated that the pipeline had been smart pigged several times: A TDW Deformation tool run was performed on 4/10/2002 and a PII MFL tool run on 4/24/2002. While deformations were present on the pipeline, no repairs occurred in the nearby area from Valve AM76 to the small drainage ditch (drainage ditch was evident when reviewing the ROW in the area of the failure). A Tuboscope Deformation tool run on 7/14/2005 was performed to verify that the Tuboscope UT tool run on 8/24/2005 could occur without damaging the tool. No deformation data was analyzed. The ultrasonic tool run did not require any repairs in the area of the failure. However, the pipeline contained 37 crack features: 6 crack-field, 30 crack-like, and 1 notch-like feature. 13 crack-like features were repaired with Type B sleeves and 14 crack-like features were recoated. Two crack-fields features were sleeved, and four crack-field features were recoated. Field observations did not indicate the presence of SCC, but three remaining crack-like features and one remaining notch-like feature were not investigated. A Magpie Combo MFL/DEF tool run occurred on 11/8/2006. The tool run did result in several identifications but only one was found in the immediate area and was a topside dent with metal loss. This feature was repaired with a Type B sleeve on 1/22/2007 and new coating was applied but remained approximately 271 feet away from the failure site. Corrosion and deformation anomalies do exist and indications appear to be increasing over time. A Magpie Compo MFL/DEP tool run occurred again on 5/12/2010. While anomalies were found, no repairs were made in the area of the failure (Valve AM76 to the drainage ditch). Corrosion and deformation anomalies do exist and appear to be increasing (vendor threshold of detections are more accurate but not all increases appear to be explained by this factor). A close interval survey (CIS) was performed on a portion of the pipeline between MP 26 and MP 55.4 in 2007. While this did not cover the immediate area of the failure, findings from the CIS required that the cathodic protection system be improved. An annual review of cathodic protection system performance was completed in 2009 and did appear to have addressed concerns identified by the 2007 CIS. The corrosion growth rate as it existed at the time of the failure determined that the earliest possible non- repaired feature would fail by 5/8/2027. The pipeline has 39 reported casings. None are thought to be shorted in the CIS area conducted in 2007. A corrosion coupon is monitored upstream of Iowa City Terminal and has not shown a corrosion rate in excess of 1 mil per year from 1997-2010. Analysis for SCC was part of the integrity program prior to the failure, and a Phase II SCC study was referenced. However in light of the failure, this program should benefit from being more aggressive and a hydrotest was warranted. Page 6 of 8 <<>> Failure Investigation Report – Enterprise Products Operating LLC – Material Failure Failure Date 08/12/2013 As part of the investigation, PHMSA requested that numerous documents be provided for review. The documents provided by Enterprise included the CPDM Survey report (2011 – 2013) for the line segment between Clinton and Morris pump stations, 2010 Inline Inspection (ILI) indications for the Morris Lateral, the 2006 Close Interval Survey (CIS) Data between MP 14 and MP 19, the pressure/flow data for August 11, 12, and 13, Abnormal Operation Conditions (AOC) for 2013, coupon monitoring inspection records, emergency incident logs, 2006 Magpie Combo MFL/DEF tool results, and the 2010 Magpie Combo MFL/DEF tool results. Findings and Contributing Factors The Kiefner metallurgical examination determined that the cause of the failure was an original manufacturing defect that grew in service until it reached critical size and failed at the operating pressure. The original manufacturing defect was an external surface-breaking hook crack that measured approximately 4.4 inches long and had a maximum depth of .062 inches, approximately 30 percent of actual pipe wall thickness. A secondary defect formed at the base of the hook crack and grew over time while the pipeline was in service. The overall length of the defect at the time of failure was 4.4 inches, and the maximum depth of the combined defects was 0.161 inches, approximately 78 percent of actual pipe wall thickness. Fractographic and metallographic examinations of the fracture surface were completed. Thermal damage of the fracture surface prevented detailed microscopic examination of the fracture surface, which could have helped to identify the actual growth mechanism of the secondary defect. Metallurgical characteristics of the fracture surface were consistent with environmental cracking (SCC) and with pressure-cycle induced fatigue, but were insufficient to conclusively identify the exact growth mechanism. Corrosion-fatigue could also not be eliminated. Pipe material properties were consistent with the requirements for the specified size and grade of pipe. Enterprise Products Pipeline Company conducted a hydro-test of the Morris Lateral Pipeline for much of the pipeline (from station # 0+0 to 6315+75). The hydro-test was planned to be conducted in four sections in a 2 week span starting on July 7, 2014. On August 2, 2014, a hydro-test failure occurred at MP 32.66 (station # 1724+53) at 1,425 psig with a target spike test pressure of 1,702 psig. The failed pipe joint containing the failure measured 63.5 feet and was cut in the field to 20 feet-8 inches for shipping to Keifner and Associates for metallurgical analysis. The hydrotest failed pipe in the rupture area measured 46.5 inches long and was located approximately 27 inches downstream of a girth weld (labeled ESN 1724+47). The pipeline was constructed in 1973 of 10.75-inch outside diameter, 0.188-inch wall thickness, grade X52, high frequency electric-resistance welded (HF-ERW) line pipe manufactured by American Steel Pipe and was coated with cold applied tape. After the pipeline was repaired, the pipeline was successfully hydrotested to a spike test pressure of 1,702 psig for 30 minutes, followed by an 8-hour strength test at 1,653-psig on August 12, 2014. The Kiefner metallurgical examination of the rupture determined that the cause of the hydro-test failure was stress corrosion cracking (SCC) that developed in the ERW seam area. The SCC grew to a maximum size of 3.3-inches long by .15-inches deep, approximately 80 percent of the pipe’s 0.188-inch nominal wall thickness. Enterprise will perform an Information Analysis to determine the method for reassessment of the pipeline. Enterprise expects to complete the Information Analysis no later than the fall of 2016. The re- assessment date for this pipeline will be determined through the Information Analysis process but will not be longer than the 5-year interval, not to exceed 68 months. Page 7 of 8 <<>> Failure Investigation Report – Enterprise Products Operating LLC – Material Failure Failure Date 08/12/2013 Based on the SCC threat, coating type, and other potential corrosion issues, PHMSA should elevate this pipeline risk factor for inspection cycles/frequency.
