Narrative
It was determined that approximately 7 gallons of full range naptha from the 2-12 dock line leaked to the ground along the right of way near terminal road and gulfway drive in the 27 pumphouse area. Motiva operations, emergency response and environmental personnel, as well as energy maintenance services (ems) responded promptly and contained the spill using oil spill cleanup pads. Ems excavated the area and the bottom flange on the line was found to be loose. Ems torqued the bolts and the line was service tested for leaks. A new tie-line had been bolted up to the flange the previous weeks. Ems remediated the area and backfilled the excavation with new soil. Note: the national response center (nrc) and texas railroad commission (tceq) were notified as required.
