Narrative
On 8/22/16 an imtt field operator was standing by to shut off pump 7& 21 for the pipeline when he noticed oil spraying from the pump. The imtt opeator shut the pump and noticed the inboard seal was leaking. There was a significant amount of standing water in the pump containment and dike area so it was difficult to determine how much oil was released. Imtt operations personnel estimated between 5 and 10 gallons. Imtt notified US ecology (imtt's osro) to responsd with a vacuum truck to address the released oil. Imtt operations personnel shut the suction and discharge to the pump. Since the cleanup operation was completed within 24 hours imtt is not required to notify the njdep or nrc per spcc and dpcc regulations. Imtt's inventory calculations showed no loss of product however since operations personnel were unable to determine the exact amount of oil that was spraying out the decision was made to complete an online report through PHMSA for documentation purposes.
