Narrative
At 7:00 am a hiland crude, llc (hc) operator arrived at trenton station to log daily station readings and observed crude oil in the lined secondary containment. The operator immediately isolated the facilities after verifying that the spill originated from a leaking low pressure charge pump that pulls crude oil from the ship tank into the main line. At 7:10 am operator reported the spill to hc management and initiated internal reporting. The quantity of the spill was estimated to be 75 barrels; requiring a 30-day accident report to PHMSA. No nrc report was required since the accident did not meet any of the criteria in 49cfr part 195.52. The total volume was contained within lined secondary containment with no impact to soil or water resources. A 24 hour notification was provided to the north dakota department of health and environment.
