Corrective action - Emergencies. A. The Commission may find a transportation system to be hazardous if: 1. the facts and circumstances indicate the particular system is hazardous to life or property; or 2. the transportation system or a component thereof has been constructed or operated with any equipment, material, or technique which the Commission determines is hazardous to life or property. B. In determining a transportation system to be hazardous, the Commission shall consider the following, if relevant: 1. the characteristics of the pipe and other equipment used in the transportation system, including the age, manufacturer, physical properties, and its resistance to corrosion and deterioration of said equipment, and the method of manufacture, construction, or assembly; and 2. the nature of the materials transported by said system, including their corrosive and deteriorative qualities, the sequence in which the materials are transported, and the pressure required for said transportation; and 3. the aspects of the areas in which the transportation system is located, including the climatic and geologic conditions, the soil characteristics, and the population, population density, and growth patterns of said areas; and 4. such other factors as the Commission may consider appropriate. C. If the Commission finds, after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that any transportation system is hazardous to life or property, the Commission, by order, shall require the person operating the facility to take necessary corrective action. Said corrective action may include suspended or restricted use of the facility, physical inspection, testing, repair, replacement, or other appropriate action. D. Whenever the Commission finds that an emergency exists requiring immediate action in order to protect the public health and welfare, the Commission may issue an order, without notice or hearing, stating the existence of said emergency and requiring that action be taken as the Commission deems necessary to meet the emergency. The order shall be effective immediately upon issuance. Any person to whom the order is directed shall comply immediately with the provisions of the order, but, upon application to the Commission, shall be afforded a hearing within ten (10) days of the issuance of the order. On the basis of said hearing, the Commission shall continue the order in effect, revoke it, or modify it.
