According to Mr. Johnson, the design capacity of the gas plant is 125 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), but it averages operations at 85-95 MMSCFD. Mr. Johnson became Plant Manager at Keystone in July 2011. Mr. Johnson provided a process flow diagram (see Appendix 4) and reviewed current operations at the facility. The Keystone Gas Plant receives gas streams from four inlet pipelines: 600 pound (lb) high-pressure gas 300 lb inlet gas 100 lb inlet gas low-pressure (10-19 lbs) inlet gas. The facility uses various compressors throughout the site to boost pressures of the gas to meet processing and pipeline pressures. The facility also has pigging receivers on the 600 lb and 300 lb inlet pipelines. Keystone processes the condensate in an onsite condensate stabilizer to remove lighter components and then routes these gases to the low-pressure inlet gas stream. Keystone stores the condensate in pressurized tanks before shipment offsite via truck. The facility uses an H2S analyzer to monitor the sulfur content of the inlet gas. If the inlet gas has more sulfur content than can be handled by the SRU, the gas is routed to the Acid Gas Flare (FL-1). The inlet gas is typically 1.25% acid gas components: approximately 75-80% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 20-25% hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The acid gas is routed through the Amine Unit to remove the CO2 and H2S. The rich amine is regenerated in the amine regenerator and the acid gas is routed to the Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU), which consists of 4 beds: A and D use a SelectOx process; B and C use the Claus process. Molten sulfur collects in the sulfur pit prior to offsite shipment via truck. The SRU has a sulfur production capacity of 20 long tons (LT) per day but averages operation at 12 LT/day. The Amine Unit's outlet gas containing less than 1 ppm H2S content is routed through the glycol dehydrator and the molecular (mole) sieve dehydrators to remove moisture from the gas stream prior to the separation stage in the Cryogenic Plant. The mole sieve dehydrators consist of three beds: two are online and the third is regenerating. The Cryogenic Plant separates gas liquids from methane. The methane stream, or residue gas, is shipped via pipeline to El Paso Energy (aka Kinder Morgan) or Trans Western, which is owned by Energy Transfer. The remaining liquids, consisting of hydrocarbons C2 and higher, is called Y-grade and is shipped via pipeline to Enterprise Products.

I carried an MSA Sirius Multigas Detector with Photoionization Detector (PID) Serial Number A3-12746 to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S), lower explosive limits (LEL), oxygen (O2), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The Sirius was calibrated at the hotel on the morning of the Keystone inspection (see Appendix 7). Note: When the data was downloaded from the instrument log, I noted that the time in the data log was approximately 2 hours later than the actual time the instrument was operated. This was the first inspection which used the MSA Sirius since it was purchased by EPA. The instrument time was set to current time after the inspection.

Keystone noted in the two Title V Deviation Reports reviewed (see Appendices 20 and 21) that the Continuous Monitoring System did not record the temperature as follows: Reporting Period Reporting Period Compressor 7/1/12-12/31/12 1/1/13-6/30/13 C-26 93 hours (2.39% of operating time) 262 hours (6.54% of operating time) C-27 107 hours (2.53% of operating time) 270 hours (6.6% of operating time) C-28 103 hours (2.47% of operating time) 261 hours (7.8% of operating time) I have requested information about the cause of these deviations from Ms. Valencia and will review when I receive the requested information. Keystone self-reported in the Title V Deviation Report for the period 1/7/13 - 7/6/13 that they failed to submit the NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ Semi-Annual Deviation Report by the due date of 7/30/13 (within 30 days after the reporting period ended on 6/30/13) (see AOC # 1). Emission Events - Prior to the inspection, I reviewed incidents reported to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Excess Emission Reporting System and Emission Inventory records for 2011. The Keystone Gas Plant experienced the following numbers of events: 6 EPA Inspection Report - Page 7 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 Reportable Non-reportable* 2013 123 89 2012 99 127 2011 86 n/a 2010 33 n/a *from Title V Deviation Report for 2H 2012 and 1H 2013. Only represents half of the reporting year. The causes of the events reviewed often were one or more of the following categories: Pigging caused one or more compressors to shut down, thus causing flaring Compressor #23 shut down for a variety of reasons, causing flaring Field units shut down, causing flaring Amine Unit shut down, causing the plant to go sour, thus requiring the plant to flare until the gas could be treated SRU shut down due to high temperatures in a bed or the auxiliary burner would not light Chiller issues The AG Flare experienced some significant emission events in 2011: TCEQ STEERS Event Begin SO2 number Date Event End Date Days (lbs) 154347 5/10/11 6/24/11 46 1,790,000 156621 7/9/11 7/10/11 2 55,700 156718 7/12/11 9/9/11 60 2,700,000 159465 9/18/11 10/21/11 34 1,540,000 161142 10/29/11 10/30/11 2 125,000 161775 11/8/11 3/28/12 142 11,600,000 SO2 (tons) 895 27.85 1,350 770 62.5 5,800 SO2 avg (lbs/hr) 1,621 1,160 1,875 1,887 2,604 3,403 Due to the large number of events reported to the STEERS database, I have not evaluated all of the events from 2010-2013. I reviewed the 2011 events since the 2011 Emission Inventory reported 9,900 tons of SO2 in upset emissions from the AG Flare. I am noting that the remaining events should be reviewed as a follow-up to this inspection. Since the October 2013 turnaround, the facility has continued to have flaring events at the AG Flare (see Appendix 18): TCEQ STEERS Event Begin Event End SO2 SO2 SO2 avg number Date Date Days (lbs) (tons) (lbs/hr) 189210 10/14/13 10/22/13 8 150,000 75 781 Producers were informed to shut in gases to the plant for the duration of the shutdown. 190405 11/4/13 11/5/13 2 33,200 16.6 691 Computers in the Distributed Control System shutdown.

And the auxiliary burner would not light. * 191652 12/4/13 12/5/13 2 92,100 46 1,918 Auxiliary burner went down and could not relight it.* *According to Mr. Johnson, during the October turnaround, Keystone upgraded the burner and ignition system on the auxiliary burner to improve reliability. I am recommending to follow-up on the SO2 emissions from the facility to ensure that the Keystone Gas Plant has not caused an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for SO2 or PM2.5. Flares - The facility uses three flares: - AG Flare (Emission Point FL-1) is an unassisted flare that combusts acid gases when the SRU is down or if the facility inlet gas is too high in sulfur that the SRU cannot properly treat the gas or if the residue gas is off-spec (greater than 4 ppm sulfur) and cannot enter the sales pipeline. The AG Flare also combusts the non-condensable stream from the Glycol Dehydrator reboiler. Site Operating Permit (SOP) O2940 issued 9/17/13 indicates that its operation is authorized under New Source Review (NSR) Permit 2724 issued 3/8/04. The flare is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 63 Subpart A and 40 CFR 60 Subpart A. I requested testing records for the AG flare, but at the time of this inspection report had not received a response from Keystone. - HP Flare (Emission Point FL-2) is an unassisted flare that combusts the high pressure (600 lb) residue gas from within the plant when the sales meter shuts in the Keystone Gas Plant. - LP Flare (Emission Point FL-6) is an unassisted flare that combusts inlet gases to the plant from the low pressure (300 lb and less) pipeline when the facility compressors are shut down. SOP Permit O2940 indicates that the operation of the HP and LP Flares are authorized under 30 TAC 106.492 (see Appendix 10) which requires the flare to be equipped with a "continuously burning pilot or other automatic ignition system that assures gas ignition and provides immediate notification to appropriate personnel when the ignition system ceases to function." The facility uses indicator lights near the pipe rack for the AG and HP Flares. The indicator light for the LP flare is located on the control panel at the base of the flare and is only visible by walking or driving to the control panel (see AOC #2). When we observed the LP Flare with the FLIR camera, the flare was not lit (see AOC #3). We walked to the control panel and the indicator light was not on. Mr. Thompson opened the control panel and the power was off to the panel. He turned the switch on, but the power did not turn on. He walked to the flare base and reported that the entire ignition system was disassembled. Later, Ms. Valencia reported that the LP Flare had maintenance work on the ignition system performed during the turnaround in October (see Appendix 13). The systems could not be tested until the gas plant came back online. Subsequent to the inspection, Ms. Valencia supplied daily meter flow times and volumes to the LP Flare (see Appendix 11). As reported in a 1/10/14 e-mail from Ms. Valencia, LP Flare igniter system still was not operational. I will continue to follow up on this issue. It should be noted that Keystone reported several Emission Events to TCEQ when they routed emissions to the LP Flare, but no operator noted that the flare was not lit. Mr. Johnson stated that the operators observe the flare indicator lights on their 8 EPA Inspection Report - Page 9 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 daily plant walkthroughs. Subsequent to the inspection, Ms. Valencia provided the updated GRU Log Sheet in which the operators must document that the flares are lit. When we observed the AG Flare with the FLIR camera, we observed that the flare was operating, but we also observed unburned hydrocarbons trailing downwind for a significant distance. This was observed when the flare was operating with a minimal flow. As discussed above, the facility has experienced some flaring events with high quantities of SO2 emitted. I am recommending a follow-up to ensure that the flows to the AG Flare are within the design specifications of the AG Flare. Sulfur Recovery Unit (see Appendix 6 for SRU Flow Diagram) - According to Mary Valencia, the SRU is not subject to the LDAR monitoring program since the unit has not been modified or reconstructed to trigger applicability. Mr. Johnson reported that in early 2012, pneumatic controls of the SRU had been changed to programmable logic controls (PLC). Also, Mr. Johnson stated that during the plantwide turnaround October 14-21, Keystone changed a 10" inlet valve to a 14" inlet valve with an actuator, upgraded the auxiliary burner's ignition system and burner to improve reliability, and added more exchangers and condensers. At the time of the inspection, we observed emissions from the vent stack off the incinerator bed (D Bed). Mr. Johnson indicated that the goal was to have no visible emissions from the stack. He explained that Keystone had hired a consultant, Sulfur Experts, to evaluate their SRU about 10 days prior to our inspection. He stated that he had not received a report from the company, but there may be channeling through the D Bed which was affecting the efficiency of the unit. During the plant tour, the MSA Sirius Multigas Detector alarmed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when Clint Rachal observed emissions from multiple open-ended pipes (see Appendix 1 - Photo 3; Appendix 2 - Video MOV_2681.mp4) in an area known as the Posey Pond. Mr. Johnson explained that this was a sump after the acid gas knockout drum. The Keystone Gas Plant's operating permits do not reflect the three point sources observed during the inspection and Keystone does not report these emissions in their emission inventory reporting (see AOC #4). I also observed visible staining of the soil around the sump area. Ms. Valencia reported in the 12/4/13 e-mail that the sump had overflowed when the knockout drum was drained and that the soil had been removed since our visit. According to the flow diagram, the Posey Pond drains into the Bass Sump, and accumulated liquids pump into the Produced Water Tanks LTN and LTS. These appear to be the tanks BN-WWTK and BS- WWTK, respectively, which are described in the permit application as 210 barrel (bbl) waste water disposal tanks. During the plant tour, Clint Rachal detected visible emissions with the FLIR camera from the vent stack from each tank (see Appendix 1 - Photo 1; Appendix 2 - Video MOV_2678.mp4). Emissions from these tanks are authorized by 30 TAC 106.352, according to the permit application, which limits "total emissions, including process fugitives, combustion unit stacks, separator, or other process vents, tank vents, and loading emissions from all such facilities constructed at a site under this subsection shall not exceed 25 tpy each of SO2, all other sulfur compounds combines, or all VOCs combined...." (30 TAC 106.352(l)(2)). Since the facility called these tanks "produced water tanks" and we observed emissions from the tank vents, I have noted that there should be follow-up to determine actual emissions from the tanks. We discussed the emissions observed with the FLIR camera and the fact that the tank vents did not have a flame arrestor when electrical panels and truck loadout are located at the base of the tanks. Ms. Valencia noted in the 12/4/13 e-mail that Keystone is in the process of generating a work order to install a flame arrestor (Enardo valve) on each tank vent. During the inspection, I requested the last two Title V Semi-Annual Deviation Reports (see Appendices 20 and 21). During my review of these reports, I noted the following self-reported deviations for the SRU: 9 EPA Inspection Report - Page 10 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 Reporting Period Reporting Period Requirement 7/7/12-1/6/13 1/7/13-7/6/13 Permit 2724 issued 3/8/04 - Condition 1 - One (1) 24-hour period* Eight (8) 24-hour periods* Maximum Allowable Emission Rate (MAERT) for the SRU Stack (Emission Point S-1) is 182.88 lbs/hr of SO2 (see AOC #5) Permit 2724 issued 3/8/04 - Condition 3 - Eleven (11) 24-hour Thirteen (13) 24-hour Minimum sulfur recovery efficiency is 95% periods* periods* (see AOC #6) *Keystone is reporting the deviations for the MAERT emission limit and the efficiency as a 24-hour period. Permit 2724 doesn't indicate that the lb/hr Emission Rate has a 24-hour averaging period and the formula for calculating efficiency is based upon lb/hr. I am noting these issues for follow-up. Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) - The Keystone Gas Plant is an onshore natural gas processing plant and is subject to NSPS Subpart KKK for Equipment Leaks of VOC from Onshore Natural Gas Processing Plants. Keystone contracts their monitoring and some first attempt at repair for leaking components to TEAM Industrial Services in Midland, TX. At the time of the inspection I asked for copies of 2012-2013 Daily Work Records and Daily Calibration Forms provided to Keystone whenever TEAM was onsite. The Daily Work Record provides a summary of information such as names and identification numbers of technicians who were onsite, the serial numbers of instruments used that day, number of components monitored or remonitored, how many leaks were found, number of first attempts performed, and times in and out for the workers. The Daily Calibration Form is filled out for each TVA-1000 instrument used to monitor that day. Thus, if the Daily Work Record indicated that there were three technicians onsite, each with a TVA, there should be a corresponding Daily Calibration Form to document the calibration required by EPA Method 21. I reviewed the records provided (see Appendix 14) and Keystone only provided Daily Work Records and Daily Calibration Forms for 10/10/12 - 9/30/13. I noted in the Follow-up Section below that the additional records should be obtained from Keystone and reviewed. The number of components monitored by technicians per day seemed appropriate. There were some discrepancies noted: - The number of leaks in the LDAR report for October and November 2012 was one more for each month than was noted on the Daily Work Record sheets. - Missing Daily Calibration Forms for 1/16/13, 6/26/13, 7/22/13, 7/23/13, 9/30/13. - On the 2/13/13 Daily Work Record (see Appendix 15), there were 9 leaks documented, but they were not reported in the semi-annual report (see Appendix 16, see AOC #6). - Keystone did not provide any daily records for March 2013, but the report documented some pump leaks - No daily records for October 2013. - One of the Daily Calibration Sheets on 7/23/13 wasn't signed by the technician. - Technicians are drawing a line through the mid-day and end-of-day calibrations and drift. It is not clear if the technicians are performing calibration checks to quality-assure the monitoring data for the day. Technicians are instructed on the form to put "N/A" for Mid-Day and End-of-Day at appropriate Leak Definitions if NOT used for those periods, but they are not doing so. - There were several components that had been on the Delay of Repair portion of the report that were removed from Delay of Repair without a unit shutdown. - Determine what corrective action Keystone has implemented to prevent the shutdown of the DCS system in a power failure situation. 10 EPA Inspection Report - Page 11 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 As part of the inspection, I asked for a backup copy of the electronic database that TEAM uses to store monitoring data for the Keystone Plant. I received this from TEAM on 12/4/13. I have noted that this data should be analyzed for compliance with NSPS Subpart KKK requirements. Also, I have asked for a summary of units at Keystone that are subject to monitoring under the LDAR program. At this time, I have not received a reply. RMP OBSERVATIONS written by Dominique Duplechain Subpart A-General 68.12 General Requirements - Keystone submitted a single Risk Management Plan (RMP) which registered two covered processes Propylene (Refrigerant) and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) that are subject to Program 1 requirements. The latest RMP update, dated 8/16/2011, (see Appendix 22) identified two flammable chemicals, propylene (see Appendix 23) and NGL flammable mixture (see Appendix 24), that are above the threshold quantities identified in 68.130. In order to be eligible for Program 1, a facility must analyze the worst case release scenario and document that the nearest public receptor is beyond the distance to a flammable endpoint, complete a five year accident history, and ensure that response activities are coordinated with emergency planning and response agencies. At the time of the 8/16/2011 RMP update, the facility certified that the distance to the specified endpoint was less than the distance to the nearest public receptor and that it had no accidental release that caused offsite impact. At the time of the inspection, Keystone provided documentation on the Offsite Consequence Analysis (OCA) (see Appendices 22 and 25). The results of the analysis for both propylene and natural gas liquid flammable mixture indicated that the estimated distance to flammable endpoint was 0.3 miles at 1 psi overpressure. The OCA map did not clearly identify the facility, the point of release, or distance to endpoint. In an email dated 12/13/2013, Mr. David Rider, PSM/RMP Manager for Regency Energy Partners, provided a new OCA map which clearly identified the facility, point of release, public receptors, and distance to endpoint (See Appendix 29). It appears that the facility has public receptors within the distance to endpoint and is subject to Program 3 requirements. 68.12(b)(1) (see AOC # 8). In emails dated 12/4/13 and 12/5/13, Mr. Rider provided reports for two incidents: - 3/1/2009 incident (see Appendix 26): an employee used a metal bucket to shield a NGL leak from a valve which resulted in a fire and employee injuries. - 1/24/2011 incident (see Appendix 27): Unit #24's 2nd stage discharge piping experienced an internal explosion causing a gas release into the Caterpillar compressor building. The accumulated gas flashed injuring an employee and caused damage to the building. A key contributing factor was the failure to use purging and lock out/tag out procedures. Keystone rated this event as catastrophic. It appears the 3/1/2009 event which involved a release of NGL flammable mixture, a RMP process chemical held above a threshold quantity, and resulted in medical treatment for an employee should have been reported as part of the facility's five year accident history. 68.12(b)(2) (see AOC # 9). I reviewed EPA's Central Data Exchange to determine if any updates were submitted after 3/1/2009. No updates were submitted between 3/1/2009 and 8/16/2011. It appears that the facility did not correct the RMP submittal within six months of the date of the 3/1/2009 event as required by 68.195(a) (see AOC # 10). 11 EPA Inspection Report - Page 12 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 For the 3/1/2009 incident, it appears that Keystone failed to identify hazards associated with the leaking valve and leaking chemical, as well as, failed to minimize the consequences of the NGL release by using a metal bucket to shield the leak. 112(r)(1) (see AOC # 11). For the 1/24/2011 incident, it appears that Keystone failed to maintain a safe facility and did not the take the necessary steps to prevent the gas accumulation and release by failing to utilize purging and lock out/tag out procedures prior to and/or during start up. 112(r)(1) (see AOC # 12). Keystone provided its Emergency Response Plan (ERP) which was updated on 11/6/2013 (see Appendix 28). According to Mr. Dansby, the plan was coordinated with the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC). The plan identified the LEPC contact information and listed contact numbers for Winkler County emergency response. Subpart B-Hazard Assessment 68.22 OCA parameters - The OCA documentation (see Appendix 22) for the worst case scenarios for natural gas liquids indicated the following: Vapor Cloud Explosion and estimated distance to 1 psi overpressure is 0.3 miles. The OCA documentation for the worst case scenarios for propylene indicated the following: Vapor Cloud Explosion, estimated distance to 1 psi overpressure is 0.3 miles, wind speed 1.5 meters/second, stability class F, and a temperature of 77F. Keystone provided no other documentation at the time of the inspection. 68.25 Worst-case release scenario analysis - Keystone performed a worst case analysis for propylene and NGL flammable mixture. See the above OCA parameters. 68.30 Defining offsite impacts-population - At the time of the inspection, Keystone could not provide any documentation which showed the point of the release at the center and radius determined by the distance to endpoint. The OCA map provided at the time of the inspection did not clearly identify the facility, point of release, public receptors, and distance to flammable endpoint. It appears that Keystone failed to appropriately determine its public receptors. 68.30(a) (see AOC # 13). 68.33 Defining offsite impacts-environment - At the time of the inspection, Keystone could not provide any United States Geological Survey maps or any data source containing USGS data to identify environmental receptors. It appears that Keystone failed to identify environmental receptors within the radius from release to endpoint. 68.33(a) (see AOC #14). 68.36 Review and update - Keystone provided the 2011 update which included a summary of the worst case scenario analysis. It is unknown if the OCA was reviewed at the time of the update. 68.39 Documentation - The OCA documentation for the worst case scenarios for NGL flammable mixture indicated the following: Vapor Cloud Explosion and estimated distance to 1 psi overpressure is 0.3 miles. The OCA documentation for the worst case scenarios for propylene indicated the following: Vapor Cloud Explosion, estimated distance to 1 psi overpressure is 0.3 miles, wind speed 1.5 meters/second, stability class F, and a temperature of 77F (See Appendix 22). Keystone provided no other documentation. The RMP executive summary indicates that the largest vessel with natural gas liquids was selected for the worst case scenario, but the summary does not mention any vessel containing propylene. The RMP submittal indicates that Keystone has two processes. It appears that Keystone failed to maintain offsite consequence analysis records for both processes which include: rationale for selection of worst case for each covered process, anticipated effect of 12 EPA Inspection Report - Page 13 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 controls and mitigation, documentation of release rate and duration of release, and data used to estimate population. 68.39(a-e) (see AOC #15). Subpart G Risk Management Plan 68.155 Executive Summary - I reviewed the Executive Summary in the 2011 RMP update (see Appendix 22). The description of the stationary source indicated that the facility receives natural gas with H2S and water removed. According to Mr. Dansby, the field handles sour gas. It appears that Keystone failed to accurately identify the type of gas handled at the stationary source. 68.155(b) (see AOC #16). The executive summary listed Southern Union Gas Services as the parent company with La Grange Acquisitions as the owner/operator. According to Mr. Rider, Southern Union Gas Servicer (SUGS) is now Regency Field Services LLC. The owner/operator is also Regency Field Services LLC. Mr. Rider indicated that corrections to the RMP were submitted to their third party. At the time of the inspection, Mr. Dansby indicated that Mr. Tommy Johnson, Plant Manager, was the emergency contact for the facility. The RMP lists Dwight Bennett as the emergency contact. Mr. Bennett is a current employee for Keystone but no longer in the same role. It appears that Keystone failed to correct the emergency contact information the RMP within one month as required by 68.195(b) (see AOC #17). Subpart D Program 3 Prevention Program Keystone is subject to the OSHA PSM standard. Based on the updated OCA map (See Appendix 29), it appears that the nearest public receptor is within the distance to a flammable endpoint. Program 3 requirements were not evaluated as a part of this inspection. Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN EEPI CLOSEOUT CONFERENCE At the closeout meeting with Mr. Thompson and Ms. Valencia, I discussed concerns with the produced water tanks and the fact that there was no flame arrestor on the vent pipes for the two tanks. I asked Ms. Valencia to provide documentation about the concentration of hydrocarbons coming from the tank. I have not received this information to date. I also discussed the H2S and VOC alarms at the Posey Pond. Finally, I discussed the LP Flare that had no pilot. At the time of the inspection, Clint reported that he observed emissions from the LP Flare with the FLIR camera, but after I observed the videos from the office, I determined that the emissions were carryover from the AG Flare. We left the facility at 5:20 pm. INSPECTION AREAS OF CONCERN EEPI Areas of Concern: 1. Keystone self-reporting that the company did not submit the NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ Semi-Annual Deviation Report by the due date of 7/30/13 as required by 40 CFR 63.6650. 2. Keystone has not designed the High Pressure Flare and Low Pressure Flare with ignition systems that provide immediate notification to appropriate personnel when the ignition system ceases to function as required by 30 TAC 106.492(1)(B) as referenced by page 30 of Site Operating Permit O-2940 issued 9/17/13. 13 EPA Inspection Report - Page 14 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 3. Keystone operated the Low Pressure Flare after the turnaround that ended 10/21/13 without a flame present as required by 40 CFR 60.18(c)(2) as referenced by page 17 of Site Operating Permit O-2940 issued 9/17/13. 4. Keystone did not receive New Source Review authorization for three emission points from the sump known as the Posey Pond located downstream of the Acid Gas Knockout Drum in the Sulfur Recovery Unit as required by 30 TAC 116.110(a)(1) and page 1 of Site Operating Permit O2940 issued 9/17/13. 5. Keystone self-reported nine (9) exceedances of the SRU Stack (Emission Point S-1) emission rate limit for the following 24-hour periods: 10/18/12, 2/15-16/13, 4/8/13, 4/16-17/13, 4/21-22/13, and 6/20/13. The emission rate is limited to 182.88 lbs/hr as required by Permit 2724 Condition 1 as referenced by GOP Permit O-0769 Condition (b)(7). 6. Keystone self-reported twenty-four (24) exceedances of the SRU sulfur recovery efficiency for the following 24-hour periods: 7/28/12, 8/16-17/12, 8/22/12, 10/13/12, 10/18/12, 11/7-8/12,12/23/12, 12/31/12-1/1/13, 1/16-18/13, 2/14-16/13, 3/13-14/13, 3/19-20/13, 3/24-26/13. The sulfur recovery must be at least 95% efficient as required by Permit 2724 Condition 3 as referenced by GOP Permit O-0769 Condition (b)(7). 7. Keystone's LDAR contractor, TEAM Industrial Services, documented 9 (nine) leaking components on the 2/13/13 Daily Work Record, but Keystone did not report any leaking components for the month of February in the Semi-Annual NSPS Subpart KKK Report for October 2012-March 2013 as required by 40 CFR 60.636(a). RMP Areas of Concern: 8. At the time of the inspection, Keystone provided documentation on the Offsite Consequence Analysis (OCA). The results of the analysis for both propylene and natural gas liquids flammable mixture indicated that the estimated distance to flammable endpoint was 0.3 miles at 1 psi overpressure. The OCA map did not clearly identify the facility, the point of release, or distance to endpoint. In an email dated 12/13/2013, Mr. David Rider, PSM/RMP Manager for Regency Energy Partners, provided a new map OCA which clearly identified the facility, point of release, public receptors, and distance to endpoint (See Appendix 29). It appears that the facility has public receptors within the distance to endpoint and is subject to Program 3 requirements. 68.12(b)(1) 9. It appears the 3/1/2009 event which involved a release of NGL flammable mixture, a RMP process chemical held above a threshold quantity, and resulted in medical treatment for an employee should have been reported as part of the facility's five year accident history. 68.12(b)(2) 10. It appears that the facility did not correct the RMP submittal within six months of the date of the 3/1/2009 event as required by 68.195(a) 11. In regards to the 3/1/2009 incident, it appears that Keystone failed to identify hazards associated with the leaking valve and leaking chemical, as well as, failed to minimize the consequences of the NGL release by using a metal bucket to shield the leak. 112(r)(1) 12. In regards to the 1/24/2011 incident, it appears that Keystone failed to maintain a safe facility and did not the take the necessary steps to prevent the gas accumulation and release by failing to utilize purging and lock out/tag out procedures prior to and/or during start up. 112(r)(1) 13. At the time of the inspection, Keystone could not provide any documentation which showed the point of the release at the center and radius determined by the distance to endpoint. The OCA map provided at the time of the inspection did not clearly identify the facility, the point of release, public receptors, or distance to endpoint. It appears that Keystone failed to appropriately determine its public receptors. 68.30(a) 14. At the time of the inspection, Keystone could not provide any United States Geological Survey maps or any data source containing USGS data to identify environmental receptors. It appears that 14 EPA Inspection Report - Page 15 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 Keystone failed to identify environmental receptors within the radius from release to endpoint. 68.33(a) 15. It appears that Keystone failed to maintain offsite consequence analysis records which include: rationale for selection of worst case for each covered process, anticipated effect of controls and mitigation, documentation of release rate and duration of release, and data used to estimate population. 68.39(a-e) 16. It appears that Keystone failed to accurately identify the type of gas handled at the stationary source in the RMP executive summary. 68.155(b) 17. At the time of the inspection, Mr. Dansby indicated that Mr. Tommy Johnson, Plant Manager, was the emergency contact for the facility. The RMP lists Dwight Bennett as the emergency contact. Mr. Bennett is a current employee for Keystone but no longer in the same role. It appears that Keystone failed to correct the emergency contact information in the RMP within one month as required by 68.195(b) Section IV - FOLLOW UP The following areas should be further evaluated for compliance: - Keystone's LDAR contractor, TEAM Industrial Services, provided a backup of their electronic database. This should be loaded into Excel spreadsheets and analyzed to determine compliance with NSPS Subpart KKK. - Keystone should test the vapor pressure of the material in the LTN and LTS tanks and provide calculations to demonstrate actual emissions from the tanks. - Keystone did not provide all of the requested TEAM Daily Work Records and Daily Calibration Forms. Due to the discrepancies noted between the records provided and the Semi-Annual LDAR Reports, additional records and reports should be requested and reviewed for compliance issues. - Keystone has experienced some AG flaring events with significant SO2 emissions both as total emissions from the event and as a high emission rate. Keystone should demonstrate that they have not caused an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for SO2 and PM2.5. - The operation of the AG Flare should be evaluated with respect to the manufacturer's design specifications to determine the cause of the unburned hydrocarbons observed with the FLIR camera. - All of the performance testing records for Compressor Engines C-26, C-27, C-28 need to be reviewed to ensure that all testing is conducted, as required. - Review the information from Keystone regarding the problems with recording the temperature for the Compressors C-26, C-27, and C-28. - As of 1/10/14 the LP Flare igniter system was still not operational. - Obtain and review testing records for the AG Flare. - On 12/4/2013, Keystone submitted changes to the RMP which updated the registration information to Regency Field Services and updated the executive summary. - On 12/12/2013, Mr. David Rider, PSM/RMP Manager for Regency Energy Partners, emailed (see Appendix 29) a new OCA map which identified industrial receptors within the distance to endpoint. He indicated that Regency Field Services intended to resubmit the RMP for Keystone as a Program level 3. 15 EPA Inspection Report - Page 16 of 237 Regency Field Services LLC / Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 Section V - LIST OF APPENDICES Appendix 1 - Photo Log - 11 photos taken 11/20/13 Appendix 2 - Video Log - 8 FLIR videos taken 11/20/13 Appendix 3 - Opening conference sign-in sheet Appendix 4 - Process flow diagrams: - General Process Flow - Glycol Flow - Cryogenic System Appendix 5 - Mary Valencia e-mail dated 12/4/13 Appendix 6 - SRU H2S Flow Diagram Appendix 7 - MSA Sirius Multigas Detector with PID (S/N A3-12746) data log for 11/20/13 Appendix 8 - Site Operating Permit O2940 issued 9/17/13 - selected pages Appendix 9 - Update to Initial Site Operating Permit Application dated 9/16/11 - selected pages Appendix 10 - 30 TAC 106.492 - Flares Appendix 11 - Low Pressure Flare flow meter (KP-19) hours and rate from 10/22/13 - 12/3/13 Appendix 12 - 30 TAC 116.110 - New Source Review Permits - Permit Application Appendix 13 - Keystone Shutdown Project List for October 14-21, 2013 Turnaround Appendix 14 - LDAR Analysis of Daily Work Record and Semi-Annual NSPS Subpart KKK Reports Appendix 15 - TEAM Industrial Services - Daily Work Record dated 2/13/13 Appendix 16 - Semi-Annual 40 CFR 60, Subpart KKK Report for October 2012-March 2013 dated 4/25/13 Appendix 17 - 6 Emission Events reported to TCEQ in 2011 Appendix 18 - 4 Emission Events reported to TCEQ since October 2013 Appendix 19 - Permit 2424 renewal dated 3/8/04 - selected pages Appendix 20 - Title V Permit O-769 Semi-Annual Deviation Report for 7/7/12-1/6/13 dated 2/5/13 - selected pages Appendix 21 - Title V Permit O-769 Semi-Annual Deviation Report for 1/7/13-7/6/13 dated 8/5/13 - selected pages Appendix 22 - RMP update dated 08/16/11 Appendix 23 - Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Propylene Appendix 24- MSDS for Natural Gas Liquids Appendix 25 - OCA old map (supplied at time of the inspection) Appendix 26 - Incident Report dated 3/1/09 Appendix 27 - Incident Report dated 1/24/11 Appendix 28 - ERP dated 11/6/13 Appendix 29 - E-mail from John Rider dated 12/13/13 with attachments 16 EPA Inspection Report - Page 17 of 237 Regency Field Services /Keystone Gas Plant Inspection Date 11/20/2013 Appendix 1 Photograph Log EPA Inspection Report - Page 18 of 237 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Photograph Log Photo No. 1 Location: Regency Field Services, LLC - Keystone Gas Plant City: Kermit Winkler County State: TX Appendix 1 Tank LTN Tank LTS Photo File Name: Date of Photo: Time of Photo: Photographer: Description: DC_2677 new.jpg (The original file DC_2677.jpg did not record properly in the FLIR camera.

This work was done during the turnaround however, the system could not be tested until the plant was brought back up after the turnaround as we didn't have power to the system until the electrical upgrade was complete and we also didn't have any pilot gas with the plant depressured. 1 EPA Inspection Report - Page 40 of 237 Regulatory analysis (i.e. applicability) for the Low Pressure and the Acid Gas Flares. Low pressure flare is permitted under 30 TAC 106.492. Acid Gas flare is permitted under NSR permit 2724. Information on apparent spills observed on the ground o near the Low Pressure Flare ignition panel The stained soil near the low pressure flare ignition panel was removed. A 3" line that belongs to producer in the area was exposed and no leaks were identified. The area will continue to be periodically monitored for any future releases. o at the Posey Pond It ran over while draining the Acid gas Knockout Drum. The liquids from this drum consist mainly of condensed steam (water). The stained soil has been removed. Written procedures used by operations for observation of flares, pumps, other equipment. Include the scope, frequency, and how these observations are documented? The written procedures are the reading sheets we use for monitoring the plant. I changed the #2 GRU sheet to include a flare pilot monitoring column. See log sheet attached Can you provide any follow-up taken on the produced water tanks such as monitoring of the exhaust vents, sampling/analysis of the liquids in the tank, etc? Tanks were completely emptied out after inspection. Work order being generated to install flame arrestors (enardo valves) on each tank vent Please provide this information by COB tomorrow. If you have any problems with this deadline, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks, Debbie S.

Employees opened and/or closed valves and blow downs to isolate the unit. SUGS lock out/tag out procedure was not utilized during this process. Following repairs to the compressor, valves and blow downs were reopened and/or closed in preparation to restart the compressor. SUGS purging and lock out/tag out procedures were not utilized during this process. Vent lines on the suction piping remained in an open position allowing natural gas and compressed air to be comingled in the suction line during the attempt to re-start the compressor. An internal piping explosion occurred followed by natural gas migrating into the Caterpillar building and igniting when it reached an ignition source, resulting in the fire. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SUGGESTED BY INVESTIGATION TEAM Suggested Action Retrain all applicable plant personnel on following procedures: o Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) o Start Up and Shut down procedures Review plant specific procedures (Startup and Shutdown, Purging, etc.) so they are current and provide sufficient details and site-specific information to safely perform the required task. Resolution A new LOTO procedure has been implemented at all facilities that include initiating the LOTO procedure with the work order. Operating procedures are being rewritten in a new format. SUGS has implemented a mandatory fire retardant clothing (FRC) requirement throughout the company. The program was initiated prior to the event however the vendor selection for the FRC had not been completed. SUGS has completed the distribution of FRC throughout the company. Report Circulation & Posting (i.e., with whom & how to share) Lou Soldano, Bob Milam, Herb Harless, Jacob Krautsch, John Crossman, Michael Magee, David Maness, and Dwight Bennett. After approval from the above stated, the report will be posted so that all employees will have access to this report and its findings. This incident will also be reviewed during a monthly safety meeting.

PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION In the event of an emergency situation, affected employees are to be notified by an alarm signal, telephone, radio, or by mouth. The Plant Manager, Lead Operator or the "A" Operator in charge of the plant at the time will oversee actions taken during the emergency. B. EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES Refer to the site map on Sec. 5 Pg 8 for designated evacuation routes, evacuation (safe) areas and potential danger areas. Incidents Controllable by Plant Personnel - No Evacuation Required Incidental or minor spills, releases or fires that can be safely neutralized or controlled by plant employees, with no need for evacuation, are not considered to be emergencies governed by this Emergency Response Plan. Uncontrolled Incidents That Require Evacuation In the event of a major spill, release, fire, or other hazardous situation that warrants a full plant evacuation or danger area evacuation, plant personnel are required to evacuate in accordance with evacuation procedures. Employees are not permitted to remain in or re-enter evacuated areas to assist in handling UNCONTROLLED chemical spills. If evacuation is ordered and an uncontrolled chemical spill is involved, only outside emergency responders, e.g. firemen, emergency medical or rescue teams, or clean-up contractors are allowed to enter the evacuation area until the chemical is controlled and/or neutralized, or determined to be non-hazardous. One exception to this restriction would be if control of an emergency situation could be safely undertaken outside the emergency evacuation area by danger-reducing actions, such as the opening or closing of valves, switches, breakers, vents, pipes, etc. Another exception would be voluntary first-aid treatment or rescue operations performed by an employee, provided the employee has taken proper precautions to avoid falling victim to the emergency himself; i.e., a respirator and other appropriate protective equipment should be used as needed. Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants 5 Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 219 of 237 Facilities Critical Operations Personnel The Plant Manager, Lead Operator and the "A" Operator as applicable are the designated Critical Operations personnel. Only those employees designated as Critical Operations personnel are authorized to make decisions on actions to be taken during full plant evacuation. Critical Operations personnel duties include: 1. Providing back-up notification to employees to evacuate in case audible evacuation alarms malfunction or cannot be heard. 2. Remaining in the control room and plant office, as long as it is safe to monitor the emergency. 3. Notifying outside emergency response agencies as necessary. 4. Implementing operational control processes to correct or lessen the emergency situation. The decision to declare an evacuation will be made after the Lead Operator or the "A" Operator, with concurrence from the Plant Manager whenever possible, has determined that a clear and immediate danger exists that could jeopardize the life or health of affected plant personnel and/or contract personnel. Full Plant Evacuation In the unlikely event that the need to completely evacuate the plant becomes necessary, employees will be alerted by a continuous series of very short, manually operated blasts on the control room air horn or the engine room air whistle . All non-critical employees will then immediately proceed to safe areas by utilizing the appropriate designated evacuation route as shown on the plant site map on Sec. 5 Pg 8. Critical employees will evacuate, if necessary, after performance of the duties listed above. Evacuation from Danger Areas Danger area evacuations, as opposed to evacuation of the entire plant, are usually triggered by an automatic alarm (such as one of the Klaxons for H2S releases), manual alarm or through employee recognition of a potentially dangerous circumstance and subsequent notification to other employees in the danger area to evacuate the area. No authorization from Critical Operations personnel is needed to initiate a danger area evacuation, although these personnel must be promptly notified after evacuation begins. Some plant-specific danger areas are discussed below: 1. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Release H2S is a very deadly gas that can kill within minutes. The greatest concentrations of H2S (and therefore the greatest potential for catastrophic release) are located in the general vicinity of the sulfur plant and amine recovery units. The subject of H2S, its characteristics and hazards are discussed in detail in the facilities H2S Contingency Plan and the Texas Railroad Commission's Statewide Rule 36 Safety Publication. (See publication in back of facility H2S Contingency Plan). If H2S concentrations reach 10 ppm, an automatic Local Klaxon alarm will be triggered, thus signaling employees in the release area monitored by the H2S sensor to evacuate, moving crosswind to a designated safe area. The H2S alarm consists of a Hi-lo sound from the local alarm. An amber-colored strobe light is located at each sensor and is activated in any alarm condition. Employees are not allowed back into the area unless they have donned an approved air pack or the Klaxon H2S alarm has shut off, thus signifying that the H2S level has been controlled by Operations or dispersed naturally and dropped below 10 ppm. NOTE: The Klaxon alarm cannot be manually reset and will remain sounding until the H2S level is below 10 ppm. Also when H2S concentrations reach 10 ppm or more in any given plant location, the main plant alarm horn at the control room will be triggered. This alarm is recognizable as a very loud series of long, intermittent blasts. Upon hearing this alarm, the Operations Supervisor or supervisor in charge is alerted to immediately proceed to or contact the control room via two-way radio to further assess the level of H2S danger and take necessary corrective action to control the release or make the decision to evacuate the plant if the release appears to be uncontrollable. This alarm horn can be reset (silenced) at the control room. 6 Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 220 of 237 Facilities 2. Flammables The potential for fire in a gas processing plant is probably the most inherent danger that exists. There are numerous areas of the plant where highly volatile hydrocarbons are stored or utilized in processing operations. The "Engine Rooms" or "Compressor Buildings" are of particular concern due to the ignitability potential posed by engine backfires and high temperatures. Other areas where flammables are stored or utilized are the tank farm, the process area, the gas pump west of the maintenance shop, the gas tank outside the firehouse, the product pipeline and the gas cooling tower. Should a fire break out in any area of the plant, personnel in the affected area must immediately notify the control room or engine room. Employees will be alerted that there is a fire by a series of three intermittent blasts on either the control room air horn or the engine rooms whistle. See Sec. 5 Pg 9 of this plan for a discussion to determine in-plant -vs.- outside-agency firefighting. Should a fire escalate to a point where full plant evacuation is ordered by the Plant Manager or his designee; the horn or whistle will change to the continuous short blast as described on Sec 5 Pg 6. All non-critical employees must evacuate the plant per the procedures described below. Controllable Releases - H2S and Flammables Relatively small releases of flammables and hydrogen sulfide that are controllable probably will not require evacuation and can thus be dealt with by on-site employees using appropriate personal protective equipment and other appropriate safeguards, including a full facepiece supplied-air respirator and impervious clothing. However, any controllable leak of flammable or toxic substances must be carefully assessed, before control attempts are started, since improper handling of leaking valves or piping can lead to larger and uncontrollable releases that could threaten health or life and would thus require evacuation. Uncontrollable Releases, Real or Threatened If there is a real or threatened occurrence of an uncontrollable leak or spill, a need may occur to classify that section of the plant downwind of the spill area as a danger zone to prevent exposure of workers to concentrations of hazardous substances that could cause injury or death. Should it be determined that an uncontrollable leak or spill has occurred or is likely, an evacuation of some or all of the plant becomes necessary, Company employees are not allowed to remain in an evacuation zone for any reason. The single exception to this rule is when the acid gas flare goes out, in which case necessary Operations personnel will remain to re-ignite the flare. If the acid gas flare goes out, evacuation of non-essential personnel will be to a location outside the circle marked 100 on the map on page 5. Once evacuation of any area(s) takes place, no employee can re-enter until the Plant Manager or his designated alternate determines that the concentration of hazardous substances in the area(s) is at a safe level and gives an "all clear" indication to the workers. In summary, employees are not allowed to work in or around an uncontrollable release of hazardous substances in a manner that might cause them to become exposed to that chemical. Any attempts to control such a release must be done from a remote, unexposed location or by outside emergency response companies and/or agencies, including fire departments, police, emergency medical responders, and private spill control contractors. Evacuation Procedure for Flammables and Hydrogen Sulfide 1. Immediately alert and evacuate personnel downwind from the release site. 2. Personnel are to proceed crosswind from the site to safe areas utilizing the appropriate designated evacuation route. 3. Provide or obtain first aid for any employees who are in distress from exposure to hydrogen sulfide, or who otherwise need medical assistance. Follow emergency notification procedures on Sec 5 Pg 5 of this plan. 4. The personnel listed in this plan's Procedure of Notification Sec 1 Pg 2 will be responsible for notifying all emergency and environmental agencies. . Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants 7 Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 221 of 237 Facilities Accounting for Personnel When an evacuation takes place for any reason, the Plant Manager or his designated alternate will be responsible for ensuring that each person in the plant is accounted for. Emergency search and rescue procedures will be initiated for any persons who have not been accounted for, with help from outside emergency responders as needed. Entry into hydrogen sulfide-contaminated areas requires use of protection for the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, including a full facepiece supplied-air respirator. All Clear Personnel will be notified that it is safe to re-enter the evacuated area by only those employees designated as "Critical Operations Personnel" (see page 6) who will get the all-clear notification from the Plant Manger or his designee. Under no circumstance will employees rely on second-hand notification by other than Critical Operations personnel. Muster/Rally Point - Keystone Plant The Keystone Plant has (3) Emergency Assembly Areas. Primary Meeting Area is at the parking lot South of the Main Office. The South Secondary Meeting Area is at the intersection of FM 1218 & FM 874, North Secondary Meeting Area is .5 miles Northwest of plant on FM 1218 C. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS Critical Operations personnel have been trained to assist in the safe and orderly emergency evacuation of employees. Critical Operations personnel are responsible for ensuring that the contents of this Emergency Action Plan be discussed with and understood by all plant employees at each of the following times: 1. Initially when the plan is developed. 2. Whenever the plan is changed. 8 Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 222 of 237 Facilities 3. Whenever the employee's responsibilities or designated actions under the plan change. 4. During new employee orientation. 5. Annually PART II - PLANT SPECIFIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE ELEMENTS A. TYPES OF EMERGENCIES Fire, explosions or chemical release may present a degree of hazard that requires protection of the perimeter and evacuation of those who may become exposed to the danger. These dangers may exist without the presence of smoke, flames, or fumes. Chemical Spill or Release Hazard Communication Standard chemical lists and material safety data sheets on each chemical in the plant are kept in SDS binders. The SDS binders are located at the maintenance shop and the office library. SDS chemical sheets are also located electronically on the Company web site. Most chemical spills or releases that might occur can be quickly controlled and handled by plant personnel and will not require notification of emergency response agencies, except for possible instances of having to notify federal or state agencies as a requirement of law, although the need for emergency action would probably remain unnecessary. 1) Hydrogen Sulfide Information Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless and transparent gas, is flammable, heavier that air and may accumulate in low places. At low concentrations (<10 ppm) it has an unpleasant "rotten egg" odor but is considered safe to work in over an eight-hour period. Higher concentrations (>100 ppm) can actually kill the sense of smell in three to fifteen minutes, thus preventing further sensory warnings should concentrations increase. Dizziness followed by breathing failure can occur at levels between 200 and 500 ppm. If necessary, alert and/or evacuate people downwind from the actual or potential release site. Depending on the actual or potential release rate involved, it may be necessary to alert or evacuate people residing off site. In such cases the sheriff, police and fire agencies should be called. Remove exposed persons to clean air, provide first aid if needed and transport exposed persons to a hospital quickly if symptoms do not clear up promptly. Refer to the SDS for H2S for additional information. If rescue is necessary, a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full face-piece must be worn in the release area. 2) Fire In many cases, plant personnel can handle small fires. In the event a fire becomes too large or dangerous for plant personnel to maintain safe control, the Kermit Fire Department should be contacted and the notification process should be implemented. Most fires in the plant can be controlled by cutting off the fuel supply. Likewise, most fires at this plant can be extinguished with in-plant fire lines, process water lines or plant fire extinguishers. Fires that cause release of toxic chemicals, vapors or smoke could create the need to stage full or partial evacuation of the plant, as could possible exposure of employees to flames of the fire. . . . Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants 9 Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 223 of 237 Facilities 3) Tornado The remoteness of the Keystone Plant precludes being part of the Kermit municipal emergency warning system. The threat of a tornado will be monitored by radio and by eye as observable weather conditions deteriorate. The Plant Manager or his designee will make the decision as to what course of action to take; e.g. operation control safeguards, plant evacuation, etc., should a tornado be imminent. MISCELLANEOUS EMERGENCY INFORMATION First Aid Anytime that plant volunteers cannot provide adequate first aid for injured persons, the Kermit Emergency Medical Service should be contacted immediately. Kermit Emergency Medical Service (EMS) 911 Public Relations All news releases, statements to the press, briefings, and information dealing with any aspect of the emergency at hand are to be issued by the Plant Manager or his designated alternate --- NO EXCEPTIONS. Traffic Should the necessity for roadblocks arise, the Winkler County Sheriff's Department and the Department of Public Safety will be responsible for the roadblocks. Regency Energy Partners will provide personnel for the roadblocks only if an immediate danger is presented to passersby, in which case Regency Energy Partners employees will detour traffic until the Department of Public Safety or Sheriff's Department arrives. C. EMERGENCY ARLARM SYSTEM Low H2S Alarm This alarm consists of a series of Hi-Lo, repeated tones on the local alarms. These alarms are local to each zone only. This audible alarm is accompanied by the amber-colored strobe light at the sensor location. If you hear this alarm, go to the nearest plant exit that is upwind and wait for instruction. (10 ppm) Also when H2S concentrations reach 10 ppm or more in any given plant location, the main plant alarm horn at the control room will be triggered. This alarm is recognizable as a very loud series of long, intermittent blasts. Fire This alarm consists of a series of three interrupted blasts on either the control room air horn or the engine room whistle. If you hear this alarm, exit the plant immediately, crosswind and upwind from the area involved in the fire. As quickly as you can, go to the gathering places and wait for instruction. If wind conditions prohibit gathering at one of the gathering places, go to one of the other designated gathering places, contractors are never expected to fight fire. Evacuation This alarm consists of a continuous series of very short, manually operated blast on the control room air horn or the engine room air whistle. If you hear this alarm, EXIT THE PLANT IMMEDIATELY, crosswind and upwind. Proceed to safe areas by utilizing the appropriate designated evacuation route Report any missing personnel to the immediate supervisor! . 10 Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 224 of 237 Facilities MEDIA CONTACT Primary Vicki Granado Office: 214-599-8785 Cell: 214-498-9272 Home: 214-827-0771 email: vicki@granadopr.com Secondary Lyndsay Hannah Office: 214-599-8785 Cell: 214-409-2328 email: lyndsay.hannah@Regencygas.com Regency Energy Partners West TX Processing Plants 11 Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 225 of 237 Revision Log Keystone Plant Published : 11/06/2013 EPA Inspection Report - Page 226 of 237 Revision Log Revision Date Details 4/3/2012 Subject: Edit Contact : Hospital Comments: Better name description 3/29/2012 Subject: Edit Contact : Sheriff Comments: Brief Description 10/7/2013 Subject: Contact deleted from master list.
