Narrative
Heavy rainfall overnight caused excessive buildup in the facility pipe run and manifold area. The storm also knocked out electrical power to the facility for approximately one hour, preventing the pump in the product-water separator from operating. While the power was off, the rapid inflow from the storm caused the product side of the separator to fill with storm water, resulting in a leak from the gasket at the separator man-way. The co-mingled water and product was recovered with a vacuum truck and properly mitigated. The gasket was replaced, and the separator was returned to operation.
