Narrative
While performing a facility inspection, crude oil was discovered to be leaking from a seal on booster 1. The crude oil was contained on operator property. Oil and contaminated soil have been removed from the facility. Soil conditions and access restrictions for mechanical excavation equipment (manifold piping) made it difficult to immediately pinpoint the volume and extent of the release. Early in the response, the volume was estimated at five barrels. Upon further excavation in and around the tight restrictions of the manifold piping, sandy soil conditions were discovered. This allowed the oil to spread within the manifold area, making it difficult to estimate volume and clean-up costs. The seal has been replaced and the line has been returned to normal operations. The pump seal was examined and thoroughly investigated by the manufacturer with no conclusive cause of failure determined. Approximately 100 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed from the site.
