Narrative
On 6/21 while conducting a station walk-around inspection, the operator discovered a release of diesel from a station drainage system open funnel cup at 0640. It was subsequently found that another operator had left a 3/8" water draw valve in the open position after draining breakout tank cc-15. While filling the tank with diesel, the flow from the opened valve overwhelmed the drain line leading to the separator causing the funnel cup to overflow. The release was discovered and the valve was closed at 0642. Agency notifications were made and clean up and excavation was promptly done. Note: part c, #4, tank cc-15 was built in 1984. It is not known if the drain system had been modified since then. Note: part e, #1, pressure estimated from tank head pressure through piping. Note pare e, #2, no mop established for this atmospheric pressure system, however, we listed 275 as typical instation piping. Note: part d, #4, impacted soil removed to 4 feet of depth. Remainder to be included in current rwqcb remediation order.
