Narrative
On 4/15/16 at approximately 11:15 crude oil was noticed draining from the roof drain on tank 4001. The roof drain was opened during a significant rain storm however the satellite drain wouldn't allow water to escape quickly enough due to debris causing the roof slightly tilt and crude to seep from leg sleeve. The roof drain was closed to prevent further crude from spilling onto the ground. Approximately 1 barrel spilled and was promptly cleaned up. The satellite drain was cleared of all debris to prevent reoccurrence.
