Narrative
On may 8, 2012 at approximately 07:00 an employee noted that an alternate suction valve at the gerald, missouri pump station was leaking from the top of the yoke tube. The valve involved was closed at the time the leak was identified as well as the pump station was isolated. The employee requested the pipeline shut down at 07:04 and responded to the valve.
