Narrative
The lateral line from tank 3012 shifted due to excessive vibration during a slack line condition. The shift of the pipe caused a 1 inch nipple located on the bottom of the pipe to come in contact with a concrete pipe support causing the nipple to break off allowing product to be released into a drainage swale within the terminal facility. Product was contained in the drainage swale and did not leave the facility. Metalurgical analysis and a hydraulic study were completed on the pipe segment and sent to PHMSA.
