Narrative
On june 22nd, 2018 a pipeline leak was discovered near alameda st in the city of wilmington. A third party responded and cleaned up the incident shortly after discovery. The pipeline in question is inactive and contained a mixture of oily water. A mixture of oily water was recovered and approximately two barrels was crude oil. After the incident was cleaned up, the pipeline was drained down and temporarily repaired with a clamp, operators along the pipeline corridor were notified and responded at the site. Cause investigation and verification of ownership are still being conducted by andeavor. We are waiting for permits with the port of long beach and port of los angeles to conduct field work to investigate cause, confirm ownership and permanently repair. A supplemental nrc report, 1216840, was called in on 6/29/2018 at 14:34 local time to update the spill volume from 68 barrels of crude spilled to 68 barrels of crude/water mix for a total of 2 barrels of crude spilled. Update 8/20/18: we have confirmed that this incident involved tesoro socal pipeline's line e-51h. We have obtained permits with the polb and pola and will be removing the pipeline. Project planning has started, field work is estimated to begin mid september. We will begin investigation on the cause and an update will be provided. Update 1/22/2019: rca was completed on 1/03/19. We are waiting for permits from the polb and pola to go to the field to inspect the pipeline and properly abandon it. Update 10/18/2021: at this time we are still waiting for permits to be provided by polb and pola to properly abandon / remove this portion of line. It is presumed that internal corrosion was present at the location of the leak and the report will be closed. Please note section e question 5, a and b ask what type of valve initially isolated the pipe up and downstream of the leak. This line is abandoned, cut, and capped physically isolated from any active segment. Manual valve was selected since there was no other option.
