Pipeline Segment-5232-WesJ_Cameron B10C1L-24Z Well No to a sub-sea t i e - i n i n -Block 2

On October 9, 1990, the subject pipeline parted a f t e r apparently being h i t with an anchor. The platform immediately shut i n on the PSL and on October 12, 1990 the pipeline parting was v e r i f i e d with divers.

On October 23, 1990, a repair crew with divers went to the location and over the next three days a 60' section of damaged l i n e was removed and replaced using Big Inch Marine connections at the ends of the new section of pipe. After repairing the l i n e , i t was reburied to 3' below the mud l i n e . The pipeline was tested on October 28, 1990 to 2190 psi and the pipeline placed back i n service. Attached are copies of the test chart and the deadweight gauge readings.

Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the authority granted by 43 U.S.C. 1334(e) and 30 CFR 250.150(d), your application dated August 2, 1988, for a pipeline right-of-way two-hundred feet (200') in width for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a 6 5/8-inch pipeline, 3.03 miles in leagth, is hereby approved, as proposed.

The proposed pipeline w i l l transport natural gas and condensate from Corpus Christi Oil and Gas Company's Platform No. 1 in Block 427, Galveston Area, across Block 420, Galveston Area, to a subsea connection with Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation's existing 20-inch pipeline (OCS-G 4967) in Block 419, Galveston Area.

This approval is subject to the following condition:

Our analyses indicate that the following anomaly ie located within the seafloor disturbance area of the proposed a c t i v i t i e s . Should this anomaly represent a hazard to your a c t i v i t i e s , precautions as outlined in Notice to Lessees and Operators No. 83-3, Section IV.B.l. shall be taken prior to conducting operations.

NEPA CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION REVIEW

The Categorical Exclusion Review (CER) evaluated the proposed action and determined that i t meets the categorical exclusion criteria as defined by 516 DM 2.3A(1) which states "(a) The action or group of actions would have no significant effect on the quality of the human environment, and (b) The action or group of actions would not involve unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources." The analysis of potential impacts by environmental and resource specialists was based on the assumption that the following mitigative measure(s) will be Imposed.

Environmental Protective Measures

The following measure was Identified 1n the plan/application by the lessee/operator submitting the proposal: None.

The measure identified by MMS during the plan/application review or in the lease stipulation was:

Our analyses indicate that the following anomalies and/or side-scan sonar contacts are located within the seafloor disturbance area of the proposed activities. Should any of these anomalies and/or contacts represent a hazard to their activities, precautions as outlined in NTL No. 83-3, Section IV.B., will be taken prior to conducting operations.

Additionally, we expressly agree that i f any s i t e , structure, or object of h i s t o r i c a l or archaeological significance should be discovered during the conduct of any operations with i n the permitted Right-of-Way, we s h a l l report immediately such findings to the Manager, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, and make reasonable e f f o r t to preserve and protect the c u l t u r a l resource from damage u n t i l said Manager has given directions as to i t s preservation.

In accordance with applicable regulations, we have delivered a l e t t e r requesting a statement of "No Objection" with a Plat showing the proposed pipeline route by c e r t i f i e d mail, return receipt requested, to each Lessee of Right-of-Way or Easement Holder whose Lease, Right-of-Way or Easement i s so affected. A l i s t of such Lessees or Right-of-Way or Easement Holders i s attached (See Attachment "A") and copies of the return receipts showing the date and signature as evidence of service upon such Lessees or Right-of-Way or Easement Holders are attached.
