Narrative
On saturday may 14, 2016 an imtt operations supervisor found the 96 transfer line/valero line isolation slip leaking. He immediately requested a vac truck, that was onsite working elsewhere, to respond to 5th street thru the back gate. The supervisor used the vac truck to evacuate the line. Imtt maintenance was contacted, they were also onsite working elsewhere, to come over and find out what materials were needed to repair. Once the lines were evacuated, imtt maintenance was able to remove the isolation slip, which had been dished due to pressure. The imtt operations supervisor walked out both the 96 transfer line and valero to ensure that the prvs were open. Imtt maintenance replaced the gaskets, which was the cause of the release, on the slip and installed a new slip. They also bench tested the prvs for both lines and they passed the test. Us ecology (imtt's osro) completed the clean up of the impacted area around the leak.
