Operator employees were walking right of way to "measure in" for verification digs and pipe replacements based on ili preliminary report. Upon walking right of way employee came across approx. 15 foot circle of stained sand directly over row.

The pinhole was in location where a planned verification dig and pipe relacement was to take place in the next 7 days to verify validity of preliminary data from ili vendor and measurements show it was called an 82% internal anomaly in preliminary report. A pressure reduction had been taken on the line segment as soon as preliminary ili report had been received approx 3 weeks prior. Verification and repair work was scheduled to begin 8/7/10
