Narrative
On april 6 at approximately 14:20, contractors were hydro excavating at gunn station on line 55 in preparation of upcoming flow meter installation. While hydro excavating, oil starting seeping from the ground and entering excavation. A number of small diameter pipes were in the area and it was anticipated that an old abandoned 2" line from a sample building was the source of the leak. Initially, 3 gallons of oil was estimated to have leaked. After further excavation and exposing of the old 2" line, it was determined that the threaded connection was the source of the leak. Enbridge reported the release to the nrc upon determination that the leak met the reporting criteria and would exceed the $50,000 and 5 gallon threshold. It's estimated that approximately 10 gallons of oil had leaked out from the piping and 178 cubic yards of contaminated soil has been removed from the release site. The piping was cut out and removed.
