Narrative
On july 1, 2015 at 8:34 am, a maintenance technician discovered a stem seal leak at key station on line 55 on the station by-pass valve (ky-55-bv-1). Initially, it was estimated that approximately 10-15 gallons of crude oil was released onto the ground. The valve stem seal was re-packed to stop the leak and no further repairs were needed. During clean up, the estimated release amount changed to 42 gallons due to additional oil found in the sand under the gravel. The estimated cost then rose to the nrc reporting threshold. Line 55 was not shut down during this incident as it was already shut down for scheduled maintenance on july 14, 2015 at 6:00 am. Contractors completed the cleanup work during this timeframe and the line was returned to service as scheduled on july 15, 2015 at 10:47 am.
