Narrative
At 07:30 am on september 26, 2012 a release was identified by buckeye personnel at the hammond terminal in hammond, in. A contractor working in the area of the 160 line manifold inadvertently opened a drain valve while walking in the area. The drain valve led into a drain trough, which overflowed with product. The line was isolated and emergency response procedures were initiated. All appropriate notifications were made. Approximately 40 gallons of sub-grade gasoline were released, and 40 gallons were recovered. Impacted rock and soil were removed and no further remediation is needed. Once the area was cleaned and it was safe to restart the line, the line was restarted. *supplemental section e 5f answered
