Narrative
01 jun 10 field personnel investigating a possible release near the belridge station confirmed crude oil releasing from an underground source on the 31-x pipe line row, approximately 1/10 mile north of the station. The source and cause are currently under investigation. After further calculation, the released volume was estimated at 440 bbls. The source of the release was unknown. Field personnel are working to excavate the impacted area and identify the release point. Excavation of the area has determined the release source is the 12' 31x pipeline on the san joaquin valley crude pipeline system, a cpl operated pipeline. An investigation into the cause has begun and a team is being developed to determine the necessary plan for repairs. The volume leaked was determined to be 508 bbls. The damaged pipe was replaced.
