Narrative
On 07/06/16 at 10:15 am, a pin hole leak caused by sand blasting activity during a planned rehab excavation dig from an ili run that resulted in the release of one barrel of crude oil. A plidco clamp was immediately installed to stop the leak. At 11:00 am, it was determined that the permanent repair would be to install a type b sleeve with a repair cost exceeding $50,000 thus nrc reportable.

Idling this line remediates any necessary repairs or analysis due to the absence of hazardous material.
