Narrative
A contractor was performing a mowing operation on the pipeline right-of-way and struck the pipeline with the mowing equipment at a location where the pipeline was partially exposed. The pipeline was clearly marked at this location. A sinclair employee was nearby and was notified by the contractor that he had struck the pipe. The sinclair employee directed the contractor to contain the leaking product with the contractor's equipment. The sinclair employee called the control center to notify. At the same time the controller observed a loss in pressure at gibbs station which is 7.4 miles downstream of the leak location. The line was drained and a pipe replacement repair was done. As part of sinclair's final order cpf no. 3-2015-5006 this pipe and the adjacent road crossing were replaced with new pipe. The new pipe was installed with more than required depth of cover (>4'). 1548 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed from the leak site.
