Narrative
A enterprise pipeline technician got a call from the control center that they had received two calls about crude oil spraying out on the ground near the mainline pump discharge piping at lagrange station. The control center was asked to shutdown the pump until someone could check it out. The pipeline technician found a back pressure valve on the discharge line of the pump leaking crude oil on the ground. It was estimated about a barrel of crude oil had leaked out before the pump could be shutdown. Clean up crews was called out to remove the contaminated soil. Maintenance crews repaired the back pressure valve.
