TORRANCE BASIN PIPELINE COMPANY LLC — Integrity Assurance Notification
PRESSUREPursuant to §195.452(h)(3) and §195.452(h) (1)(i) Torrance Basin Company (TBC) (OPID 39532) hereby gives the office of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the California State Fire Marshal’s Office of Pipeline Safety, notice of (1) one 180-day Repair Conditions (due 8/8/2020) that was not remediated within the regulatory schedule. The condition is located on Torrance Basin Pipeline Company’s 8” x10” THUMS pipeline (M-89/99/119/54/122/44/131) located in Los Angeles County, California in an area where permitting to repair has contributed to the delay of remediating this repair condition. See “reason for delay” section for further discussion and path forward. A temporary 5% reduction from the MOP established by the recent 2020 hydrotest was applied to the pipeline system on 8/6/2020. This reduced the operating pressure from 732 psig to 695 psig. An additional 5% reduction will be taken no later than 8/6/2021 since the remaining (1) 180-day condition has not been repaired within 365 days from the initial reduction. This will lower the MOP from 695 psi to 658 psi.#
