Narrative
During a routine, scheduled mainline block valve inspection, product was discovered inside the valve can/box further investigation indicated a leaking seal. The valve was repacked and returned to service. The loose product inside the valve box was recovered by a vacuum truck. The valve enclosure is kept locked except during maintenance and is not accessible to the public. Part b, item 11 of this report erroneously requires listing a depth of cover figure for the valve, which is not applicable in this instance as there is no soil cover on top of the valve inside the locked valve encosoure. I tried to insert n/a for "not applicable" in b 11, but the software doesn't permit it \, so an an alternative "unknown" was selected for the depth of cover in b11, which is also misleading. Feb 10, 2015 - revised report filed to change part d, #6 indicating the release occurred in a location that was identified in magellan's imp plan as one that "could affect" a hca. With this update, the answer to d #6 is yes.
