Narrative
At approximately 12:40 pm on september 23rd deer river personnel noticed oil on the ground near line 67 station discharge valve (dr-67-sdv-1). The source of the oil was a partially opened body bleed valve. This valve was closed and thus isolated the leak. The line was not running at the time of the leak, so no further actions were needed to be taken from the control center. Approximately 10 gallons was released and contained within the station site. Local plm responded and the contaminated soil was excavated, tested, and will be disposed at an approved location. As follow up to this event, all similar body bleed valves were checked to ensure they were in the closed position.
