KINDER MORGAN TEJAS PIPELINE — Integrity Assurance Notification

CROSSOVER RMV ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGYThis letter is being sent out of an abundance of caution to ensure compliance with 49 CFR 192.634 due to the lack of clarity pertaining to applicability of mainline valve bypass jumpers to shut-off segments. We are hoping that valves on bypass jumpers around mainline valves will be addressed in future correspondence or FAQs pertaining to the RMV rulemaking. In construction of the Freer to Sinton pipeline, Tejas will have two shut-off segments. The mainline valves, which will be RMVs, on both sides of those segments will meet the requirements of 192.634. All three of the mainline valves will have bypass jumpers. Tejas is planning to have two manual valves (on each side of the mainline valve) on each mainline valve bypass jumper. As a result, certain manual bypass jumper valves, which will be locked closed, will be valves on the bypass jumper connected to the shut-off segment. The details of the system are shown in the attached schematic. (See attached document)#
