Narrative
On saturday 11/3/2012 at linden jv terminal, the hurricane storm surge into the storage dike caused a sheen on standing stormwater in dike near out-of-service tank 32002 (there was no visible product pre-hurricane). The tank is empty (out-of-service) and scheduled for floor repairs as part of a capital project. The impacted area was cleaned up, properly disposed and is classified as a non-reportable leak. Since the leak is greater than 5-gallons (estimated 1 bbl recovered), a 30-day written report will be submitted by 12/3/2012 to PHMSA as this is a regulated breakout tank.
