Narrative
On april 6, 2013, during the patrol of our pipeline right of way, we discovered a jet fuel leak. After removing the coating from, and inspecting the 6-inch pipeline at the leak location, we discovered a dent and a pinhole within the dent. Based on the dent location, we determined the line had been mechanically damaged most likely during the widening of highway 45 many years earlier. As a short-term pipe repair, we installed a 4-inch clamp; as a permanent repair, we removed and replaced an approximately 60-foot segment of the pipeline, and installed a new 300# ansi valve and flange. The pipeline was pressured tested on may 19, 2013, and was returned to service following the successful pressure test. Ops southern region was notified of the event on april 7, 2013 and on may 17, 2013, approved mccain pipeline company's plan for returning the pipeline to service. Approximately 364.11 tons of impacted soil was removed and properly disposed at the pine ridge landfill located in meridian, mississippi. The area excavated was completely backfilled. The initial response is completed and confirmatory sampling has determined that there are no remaining environmental impacts.
