Narrative
The seal on the mixer located on crude tank 130 was identified at 10:30am during normal operator rounds. The tank and mixer were immediately isolated and locked out. The estimated volume of crude released to soil prior to capture in containment was 16 gallons. A containment pan was used to collect product that continued to drip from the seal to prevent any additional soil impact inside containment dike. Additional onsite response personnel along with a vacuum truck responded and began cleanup and recovery of the crude and contaminated soil. The mixer seal was repaired and the tank was returned to service the following day.
