Narrative
Local personnel determined the filter vessel needed to be checked. The sump was placed in test mode and a drain valve was opened from the filter vessel to the sump to drain the filter vessel. The filter vessel was placed back in service with the drain valve left open and the sump still in test mode. When mainline pressure was introduced to the filter vessel, product flowed through the open drain valve and immediately began to fill the sump. With the sump in test mode, a high level alarm did not come into operations control. The switch in the sump turned the pump on but the pump was unable to keep up with the product inflow, resulting in a sump overfill. Approximately 68 cubic yards of soil was remediated
