On April 13, in Hutchinson County, Texas, KM subsidiary Natural Gas Pipeline of America failed due to environmental cracking, causing a fire and $455,000 in property damage. The 30-inch (762 mm) diameter pipe exploded; a 60-foot (18.3 m) section and a 30-foot (9.1 m) section of pipe were blown about 60 feet (18.3 m) and 100 feet (30.5 m), respectively, from the failure site. NGPL's pipeline systems in the area have a history of stress corrosion cracking and had also leaked in 2003 and 2012.
