Narrative
On april 25 at 9:47 pm cst, a maintenance technician discovered a leak on valve b227 at manifold 211. It was determined that the valve was leaking out of the stem seal packing, which resulted in the release of approximately 10 gallons of crude oil. The line was sectionalized while valve stem seal was repacked. It was determined that the cause was due to normal wear and tear. Monitoring of the valve b227 at manifold 211 is ongoing until the new valve stem is replaced which is expected to be completed by end of q2. Clean-up was completed later that night and contaminated soil was removed and disposed of at the designated disposal facility.
