Narrative
On july 4, 2010 the gauger reported dead vegetation over 8" fill line to tank 258 to the area supervisor. Area supervisor shut down all incoming oil lines. Excavation down gradient of dead vegetation revealed abandoned 2" line. This pipe was the only source with any volume of standing oil in the area. Approximately 80 feet of 2" pipe was removed. Incoming oil lines were restarted, contaminated soil was remediated on site and the excavation was left open to verify the 2" line was the source. On july 12, 2010 the area supervisor checked the excavation and found approximately 20 gallons of free oil in the excavation. Supervisor shut down all incoming oil lines and began excavation of the 8" fill line. Up gradient from the dead vegetation area a pinhole leak was discovered on the 8" line. The line was clamped and an 8 hour hydrotest was conducted. One joint of pipe was installed for repair and the line was restarted. Re-submitted on 3/27/2013 to include part e5f per PHMSA request.
