Narrative
The sump was designed to have the pump motor, shaft and bearing assemblies inside the sump tank. The investigation determined it is most probable that vibration problems led to an overheated bearing in the sump assembly causing the ignition of vapors. All sumps of similar design were isolated until investigation was complete. An improved sump design has been developed and is being implemented where necessary across mpl. -the local fire department and ems responded. *note: part a, question 14 asks if/when the pipeline was shutdown. The pipeline was shutdown prior to the accident for maintenance (4/1/2013 @ 06:30) but the form will not allow a shutdown time prior to the accident.
