Narrative
At 0630 on 9/14 after shift change, the operator discovered a release of jet fuel from breakout tank cc-14's gauge access point (used to stick gauge to ensure last product removed from drain-dry tank) in the manifold area of concord pump station. It was subsequently found that another operator had left a 2-inch ball valve and plug/cap in the open position/unsecured after draining the breakout tank. While filling the tank with jet fuel, the product flowed from the opened valve onto the ground. Agency notifications were made and clean up and excavation was promptly done. Note: part c, #4, tank cc-14 was built in 1977. It is not known if the drain-dry system had been modified since then. Note: part e, #1, pressure estimated from tank head pressure through piping. Original/final report supplemented due to increased costs.
