. . Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. 12600 Northborough Drive Suite 214 Houston. TX 77067 Telephone (713) 873-2311 AIR #.. !PRODUCTS t~~ 28 March 1988 City of LaPorte Post Office Box 1115 LaPorte, Texas 77571 Attention: Ms. Cherie Black City Secretary 713/471-5020 Subject: Proposed Sale of Air Products' 10" Pipeline Covered by LaPorte City Ordinance No. 9l5-Q to Texaco Chemical Company for Propylene Service. Dear Cherie, Approximately 12 months ago, I contacted LaPorte regarding the following: (1) to request LaPorte's consent to transfer the service of the subject pipeline from carbon dioxide service to ethylene service. (2) to notify LaPorte that the subject Ordinance would be assigned to Cain Chemical Company (formerly Corpus Christi Petrochemical Company) who was proposing to purchase the pipeline and put it in ethylene service. The request in (1) above was granted by LaPorte via Ordinance No. 9l5-Q-l attached as Exhibit A. To make a long story short, Cain never closed on the pipeline and Air Products has since entered into an Agreement with Texaco Chemical Company who is proposing to purchase the pipeline and put it in propylene service. The purpose of this letter, therefore, is the following: (1) to request LaPorte's consent to transfer the service of the subject pipeline from ethylene service to propylene service. (2) to notify LaPorte that the subject Ordinance will be assigned to Texaco Chemical Company who, by signing below, agrees to comply with all the terms and conditions (including the $200.00 annual fee) of the subject Ordinance. If LaPorte concurs with the above request, please have the appropriate party sign both copies of this letter below and return one copy to my attention at the above addresss. Please note that all of the safety issues we previously addressed for ethylene use are substantially the same for propylene use. In addition, please note that the pipeline was successfully pressure tested to 1100 psig on 15 October 1987 in accordance with Department of Transportation test requirements. The documentation and certification for this test are attached as Exhibit B. (Texaco's proposed operating pressure is 600 psig).
