Narrative
At 10:37 the operations center (oc) received a call from a landowner regarding a vapor and smell of product at catlin station. All systems in parke county, indiana were shut down. The oc notified the martinsville area and personnel were dispatched to the site. Upon arrival, a relase of diesel fuel was found at the station. The release was limited to within the station fence and did not leave mpl property. The source of the release was found to be the tubing run around the control valve. The tubing had cracked at the fitting upstream of the control valve. The free-standing diesel fuel was cleaned up using diapers and a vacuum truck. Absorbent boom was placed around the perimeter of the area. The contaminated rock was removed. The tubing run was replaced and pressure-tested. The system and station were restarted at 16:14 without incident. The volume released is estimated to be 25 gallons per calculations perfomed by mpl es&r using observations provided by on-site personnel. Mpl hr and operations supervisor determined drug testing of field technicians not necessary due to the fact that tubing work had not been performed at the station within the last 32 hours.
