Narrative
On may 29, 2013 as field personnel were conducting schedule patrolling, a pressure gauge was found to be leaking product at our mainline valve site fm 799, locate off of farm to market road 799. The leak was in the form of a misting spray. An analog pressure gauge was found to have failed. This failure allowed product to be released from the gauge. Further investigation determined that this 600 psi ranged pressure gauge was initially installed to facilitate the low pressure commissioning of this 1337 maximum operating pressure (mop) pipeline and was to have been removed post commissioning but was inadvertently left in place. Post event this pressure gauge was removed and not replaced.
