The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposed a $423,600 penalty Chevron Pipe Line Company after an investigation into a June 2010 pipeline failure near the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pipeline failure resulted in the release of 800 barrels (33,600 gallons) of crude oil into the ground and nearby Red Butte Creek. PHMSA concluded that Chevron may have failed to institute and follow required procedures to patrol its pipeline rights-of-way, control corrosion on its system and protect its pipeline from stray electrical currents and did not have an adequate means to detect leaks along its pipeline system.
