Narrative
While conducting an atmospheric corrosion inspection of a mainline block valve, a magellan corrosion technician discovered product on top of water contained inside the valve can. The product was confined to the can and did not impact the surrounding soil. The valve was removed and replaced with a new valve (as the packing on the leaking valve could not be replaced). Other valve sites on the line were inspected for similar problems and no other leaks were discovered. Note: the national response center was notified after it was determined that total cost including repair exceeded the $50,000 amount listed in 49 cfr part 195.52(a)(3), not because of a threat to public safety or the environment.
