Narrative
A hydrocarbon spill was discovered thursday october 6, 2011 at approximatley 12 noon on the terminal road right-of way at the gulf way drive intersection. The quantity was estimated to be approximately 7 gallons. Though the source was not positively identified, the national response center (nrc), texas railroad commission (trc), and the department of transportation (DOT) were notified in an abudance of caution as the material discovered was in close proximity to motiva department of transportation (DOT) pipelines. The spill was contained and oil spill cleanup pads and a vacuum truck were used to remove the oil to prevent further soil contamination due to spreading of the oil. Actions taken: there are four lines that reside in the section of the vaulted crossing at gulfway drive and terminal rd where the oil was discovered. Two of those are gasoline, one diesel and one heavy oil line. The two gasline lines were ruled out due to test results from collected oil at the spill site. The two remaining lines were assessed with 8 hydro tests on charts and passed. Enhanced monitoring of the area over a four week period beginning from the date the oil was found revealed no new oil or changes at the site.
