Respondent. ? 
FINAL ORDER 
On November 30 -December 3, 2004, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5 601 17, representatives of the 
Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), Southern Region, conducted an inspection of Respondent's 
Lucy-Woodstock pipeline facilities and records in Tennessee. As a result of the inspection, the 
Director, Southern Region, OPS, issued to Respondent, by letter dated May 1 1,2005, a Notice 
of Probable Violation and Proposed Compliance Order (Notice). In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 
190.207, the Notice proposed finding that Respondent had violated 49 C.F.R. Part 195 and 
proposed that Respondent take certain measures to correct the alleged violations. 
Respondent responded to the Notice by letter dated, July 5,2005 (Response). Respondent did not 
contest the allegations of violation but offered an explanation. Respondent failed to respond 
within 30 days after it had received the Notice. Respondent's failure to respond constitutes a 
waiver of Respondent's right to contest the allegations in the Notice and authorizes the entry of 
this Final Order. Respondent did not request a hearing, and therefore has waived its right to one. 
FINDINGS OF VIOLATION 
(Uncontested) 
In its Response, Respondent did not contest the alleged violations in the Notice. Accordingly, 
I find that Respondent violated the following sections of 49 C.F.R. Part 195, as more fully 
described in the Notice: 
49 C.F.R. 5 195.442(a)--failure to have a written damage prevention program or 
procedures to prevent damage to buried pipelines from excavation activities, as 
no documentation was provided at the time of the inspection. 
This finding of violation will be considered a prior offense in any subsequent enforcement 
action taken against Respondent.

The Notice proposed a compliance order with respect to Item 1 for violation of 49 C.F.R. $195.442 
(a). Under 49 U.S.C. 5 601 18(a), each person who engages in the transportation of hazardous liquids 
or who owns or operates a pipeline facility is required to comply with the applicable safety standards 
established under chapter 601. The Regional Director has indicated that the Respondent has taken 
the following actions specified in the proposed compliance order: 
Respondent submitted a copy of a "Pipeline Leak and Inspection Report" for 
exposed pipe at the Loosahatchie River. 
Accordingly, since compliance has been achieved with respect to this violation, the compliance 
terms are not included in this Order. 
WARNING ITEMS 
The Notice did not propose a civil penalty or corrective action for Items 2 and 3 in the Notice; 
therefore, these are considered warning items. Respondent is warned that if it does not take 
appropriate action to correct these items, enforcement action will be taken if a subsequent inspection 
reveals a violation. The warnings were for -
49 C.F.R. 8 195.402(a)--failure to demonstrate that it periodicallyreviews the work 
done by its personnel to determine the effectiveness and adequacy of the procedures 
used in normal operations and maintenance. 
49 C.F.R. $ 195.569 --failure to examine the exposed portion of buried pipe for 
evidence of external corrosion, as Respondent exposed buried pipe when tying in a 
new river crossing in 2003 but had no records to show that the buried pipe had been 
examined for external corrosion at the time of the inspection. 
Failure to comply with this Final Order may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to 
$100,000 per violation per day, or in the referral of the case for judicial enforcement. 
Under 49 C.F.R. $ 190.215, Respondent has a right to submit a Petition for Reconsideration of this 
Final Order. The petition must be received within 20 days of Respondent's receipt of this Final 
Order and must contain a brief statement of the issue(s). The terms of the order, including any 
required corrective action, remain in fill effect unless the Associate Administrator, upon request, 
grants a stay. The terms and conditions of this Final Order are effective on receipt.
