Narrative
At 1430 during the annual tank inspection, mixer #2 was found to have leaked on the ground (0.25 gallons). This mixer is currently locked out electrically and mechanically since last fall due to a known seal issue. The seal had been changed out previously and it continued to leak thus the mixer had been locked down to the metal seal to prevent leakage. There were diapers in the seal cavity and a drip pan in place. The drip pan filled up with oil/water and the wind picked up the oil and sprayed it onto the ground. The area was cleaned up and a monitoring plan put in place. Plans will be escalated to change out this mixer. Diapers have been replaced in the bottom of the seal cavity and the drip pan replaced underneath.
