Narrative
This 4 inch gathering line had been abandoned in 1970. It was not a regulated line but because it leaked adjacent to our regulated facilities we reported it. The leaked product was removed with the contaminated soil. New soil was placed in the excavation and surface reseeded. No valves were closed, this line was in operation, could not give a distance between valves but the form won't allow not selecting valves that were operated. This accident probably didn't need to be reported but will let it stand.
