Narrative
At 0700 on 5/14/12, an operator discovered oil on a containment pond that came throught the external floating roof drain. The roof drain valve was closed to isolate the leak source and contractors were contacted. After further investigation it was determined that a reinforcing pad around a roof support leg began to leak due to a weld defect. It was later determined that the tank needed to be taken out of service and cleaned to be repaired. Repairs included grinding out the weld and re-welding the repad. They also welded the underside of the repad as well to ensure the repair of the leak. A dye test was performed for verification. The cost exceeded the $50,000 criteria due to the $112,000 to clean the tank and external roof.
