Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 147 / Tuesday, July 31, 2012 / Notices
Notice; Issuance of Advisory
Bulletin.
ACTION:
PHMSA is issuing an advisory
bulletin to alert all pipeline owners and
operators of the circumstances of the
Cherry Valley, Illinois derailment and
remind them of the importance of
assuring that pipeline facilities have not
been damaged either during a railroad
accident or other event occurring in the
right-of-way. Further, the advisory
bulletin reminds pipeline owners and
operators of the importance of providing
pertinent information to rail operators
and emergency response officials during
an incident. This information should
include the presence, depth and
location of the pipelines so that the
movement of heavy equipment and
debris on the right-of-way does not
damage or rupture the pipeline or
otherwise pose a hazard to people
working in, and around, the accident
location. The advisory also encourages
pipeline owners and operators to inform
rail operators and emergency response
officials of the benefits of using the 811
‘‘Call Before You Dig’’ program to
identify and notify underground
utilities that an incident has occurred in
the vicinity of their buried facilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
On Friday, June 19, 2009, at
approximately 8:36 p.m., CST, a
Canadian National Railway Company
(CN) freight train U7069l-l8, traveling
eastbound at 36 mph, derailed at a
highway/rail grade crossing in Cherry
Valley, Illinois. The train consisted of
two locomotives and 114 cars, 19 of
which derailed. All of the derailed cars
were tank cars carrying denatured fuel
ethanol, a flammable liquid. Thirteen of
the derailed tank cars were breached or
lost product and caught fire. At the time
of the derailment, several motor
vehicles were stopped on either side of
the grade crossing waiting for the train
to pass. As a result of the fire that
erupted after the derailment, a
passenger in one of the stopped cars was
fatally injured, two passengers in the
same car received serious injuries, and
five occupants of other cars waiting at
the highway-rail crossing were injured.
Two responding firefighters also
sustained minor injuries. The release of
ethanol and the resulting fire prompted
a mandatory evacuation of about 600

residences within a l⁄2-mile radius of the
accident site.
The National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) determined that the
probable cause of the accident was the
washout of the track structure that was
discovered about one hour before the
train’s arrival, and CN’s failure to notify
the train crew of the known washout in
time to stop the train because of the
inadequacy of CN’s emergency
communication procedures.
At the site of the derailment was a 12inch diameter underground natural gas
transmission pipeline operated by Nicor
Gas. The pipeline well exceeded Federal
standards for protective ground cover.
Yet, as the wreckage was removed from
above the pipeline, Nicor’s crews
discovered that a railcar wheel and axle
assembly had impinged on the pipeline.
Although the pipeline was buried about
11 feet deep and protected within a 16inch diameter casing, the rail car wheels
impacted and severely dented the
pipeline. The impact caused a severe
flattening of the pipe casing with sharp
angular bends at two locations where it
was contacted by the rail car wheel
assembly. This degree of deformation to
the 16-inch casing pipe likely caused
similar damage to the 12-inch carrier
pipe. The NTSB concluded that had the
gas pipeline been installed at the
railroad crossing with the minimum
level of ground cover permitted by the
current Federal and industry pipeline
construction standards, it likely would
have failed as a result of being struck by
derailed equipment in this accident.
Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2012–08)
To: Owners and Operators of
Hazardous Liquid and Gas Pipeline
Systems.
Subject: Inspection and Protection of
Pipeline Facilities after Railway
Accidents.
Advisory: To further enhance the
Department’s safety efforts, PHMSA is
issuing this advisory bulletin as a
reminder for pipeline owners and
operators to appropriately inspect and
protect pipeline facilities following
railroad accidents that occur in pipeline
right-of-ways.
As illustrated in the June 19, 2009,
Cherry Valley, Illinois train derailment,
buried pipelines are susceptible to
damage even when depth-of-cover
protection exceeds minimum Federal
requirements. Pipeline owners and
operators should inspect their facilities
following a railroad accident or other
significant event occurring in right-ofways to ensure pipeline integrity. Also,
during response operations, pipeline
owners and operators need to inform
rail operators and emergency response

officials of the presence, depth and
location of the pipelines so that the
movement of heavy equipment on the
right-of-way does not damage or rupture
the pipeline or otherwise pose a hazard
to people working in, and around, the
accident location.
Additionally, PHMSA encourages
pipeline owners and operators, as a part
of their public awareness program, to
inform rail operators and emergency
response officials of the benefits of
using the 811 ‘‘Call Before You Dig’’
program to identify and notify
underground utilities that an incident
has occurred in the vicinity of their
buried facilities.
