Narrative
On november 29th, 2017 at approximately 23:35 a release occurred just downstream of the p2 mainline pump at beaumont terminal. A pinhole leak was found in the 2" drain line on the 20" discharge pipe which resulted in a release of approximately .2 bbls of gasoline. The leak was contained to operator property and no product came in contact with any waterways. It was determined that the cost of cleanup and repair would exceed $50,000, so a call was made to the nrc on november 30th at 00:41 (nrc #1198390). A 48-hour follow-up call was made to the nrc on december 1st at 10:58 (#1198525). The area was cleaned up, a portion of the 20" pipe downstream of the pump was replaced with a new section of pipe (including a new 2" drain line), and the pump was returned to normal operations.
