Narrative
On 8/17/16, 0720, a fuel release (unleaded gasoline) occurred in the surge 4 area of colton south, just northeast of the terminal control room. The cal ema no. Is 16-5009, nrc no. 1156501. The release occurred due to mechanical failure of a stripper pump (specifically a damaged o-ring seal). It is estimated that the quantity of fuel released was 75 gallons; the impacted area was approximately 8 feet by 7.5 feet on loose gravel. The fuel pooled directly around the adjacent piping and surge tank infrastructure and percolated downward; fuel did not flow laterally to a great extent. No surface waters were impacted by the release. Cleanup and excavation activities were implemented immediately. Note: part a, #11 approximately half of the product was removed during the emergency response phase and the remainder will be removed as part of a long-term remediation conducted under the auspices of a government agency.
