After completing an operation involving the mainline pig trap, the drain line valve on the trap remained in the "open" position. When diesel fuel was introduced back into the trap, product began draining to the facility sump system. As a result, the product overfilled the product sump tank. Released product remained inside containment. Magellan's operation control scada system registered the malfunction and the controller on duty immediately contacted local field personnel to investigate.

Cleanup of impacted soil commenced, and approximately 10 cubic yards of soil was remediated.
