Narrative
During a routine visual inspection of corsicana station, the station operator found a crude oil leak on an aboveground 16" tank fill line. The station was not receiving at the time so the only pressure on the line was head pressure from the tank. The tank fill line was isolated and a clamp was installed on the line until permanent repairs are made. Approximately 3 barrels were released due to internal corrosion on the bottom of the pipe. The contaminated soil was remediated onsite. Pipe replacement was completed on april 29, 2011. Re-submitted on 3/27/2013 to include part e5f per PHMSA request.
