Narrative
04/04/16 2:03 pm truck driver unloading at victoria station called control room and reported oil on top of ground just to the south of victoria station. Controller shut down victoria station and roth station and dispatched personnel to investigate. 2:23 pm jayhawk station operator arrived on site and confirmed spill was on top of 4" pipeline row and initiated emergency response. Area made safe by isolating area and denying access. As additional responders arrived on scene hazard assessment was completed and cleanup of surface and excavation of pipeline began. Source of leak was located and clamp applied. 04/05/16 - 04/07/16 upon excavating to find source of spill it was apparent that most of spill had been going down rather than to the surface. Crews were instructed to remove pipe in area of excavation and cap both ends to allow equipment to remove impacted soils. Area of impacted soils was directly below location of spill, digging in this area continued until all impacted soils were removed to the satisfaction of kdhe representative on site. Excavations reached a depth of 24 feet in a small area approx. 10 feet in diameter. 04/08/16 after backfilling excavation with clean soil crew installed 113 feet of new pipe through excavation area and purged oil from entire 1.6 mile segment with water. To prepare for a hydrotest 04/11/16 - 04/20/16 all crews were on other previously scheduled project. 04/20/16 first attempt at hydrotest failed at 920 psi it took 5 separate digs to locate source by digging up pipe and pressuring in both directions to narrow down location. Source was located and found to be an area of old external corrosion with a pinhole in a corrosion pit. Approx. 68 feet of pipe was replaced at this site. 04/27/16 line was refilled with water 04/28/16 line was successfully hydrotested to 905 psi for 8 hours. Line is still down and full of water. Plan is to restart line after discussing with PHMSA our long term plans. 05/04/16 dewatered segment and reset safeties to lower mop of segment. Restarted segment 08/04/16 made corrections to report as requested by PHMSA, to correct mistake on wall thickness. And to fill in date segment was restarted. Another field PHMSA requested a correction to was part a question 10 - intentional blowdown: there was zero bbls intentional/controlled release but box on form would not let me fill it out.
