Narrative
On july 24, at approximately midnight, an operations technician was working in the cushing north terminal manifold area when he noticed an odor of crude oil. Further investigation revealed a leak on the 8" relief line from the enterprise west (h-line) pipeline to tank 1154. The line was not relieving at the time. The enterprise line was shut down and the relief line isolated. Approximately 1 barrel of crude was released, which was immediately recovered by a vac truck. The investigation confirmed internal corrosion at the 6 o'clock position. The original need of this relief line no longer exists and is not integral to the operation of the facility. Cushing region management has decided to have the line removed from service. The piping was removed on august 3, 2012. The contaminated soil has been managed on site at the cushing terminal by the enbridge environment department.
