While this release was not telephonically reportable per 195.52, a courtesy notification was made to PHMSA west-region because oregon state notifications were being made. 100 (2.38 bbls) gallons of gasoline were released and promptly cleaned up and disposed. Subsequent investigation found the check valve bonnet's o-ring failure. Note: part c, 4 the date of installation is unknown, but anecdotal evidence points to 1981.
