Narrative
At 9:40 am on 4/23/2012 the west columbia station operator was returning back to the station and noticed an unusual dark area under some of the station piping. The large spot was crude oil, aprox 3, that was floating on top of water that had accumulated in a low area of the station. The leak was found to be coming from a hole in a section of above ground 12" pipe that runs from tank 625 to the station booster pump. A clamp was installed over the hole and the oil was picked up using a skimmer and absorbent pads. There was no impact outside of the station.
