Narrative
The leak occurred on an intra-terminal pipeline lateral that connects a terminal tank manifold to a short unregulated low-stress pipeline. The pipeline lateral cannot be isolated from the low-stress mainline, therefore is subject to mainline pressure. This lateral is located downstream of the mainline pressure device. Although the low-stress mainline is currently exempted from pipeline safety regulations, 195.1(a)(6) requires compliance with part 195 subpart b reporting requirements. Due to the release quantity and lack of significant consequence, we are submitting this "short form" accident report.
