Narrative
At approximately 7:40 a.M., a release of crude oil was discovered by an operator during his rounds of the carson crude terminal, which is an unmanned facility. The release appeared to be coming from a pipeline casing vent and was estimated at approximately 15 bbls. Three pipelines are in this area, so all three pipelines were shut down. The spill was released to the surrounding asphalt pavement and flowed to a narrow culvert which drains to a concrete-lined rainwater retention pond. The pond was empty at the time and the spill was completely contained on site. There was no impact to storm drains, waterways, or wildlife, nor were there any injuries caused by the spill. The spill was cleaned up promptly. The segment that leaked was permanently disconnected, and the line was re-routed.
