Narrative
At 07:01 am on february 22, 2011 a release was identified by buckeye personnel at the argo terminal (betag) during a routine check.

The cause of the release has been determined to be a crack in the 1" ball valve due to water freezing and then splitting the valve. The valve has been replaced and is back in service.
