Narrative
A gasoline release was identified by field personnel after a high voltage electrical discharge occurred over the pipeline. The high voltage electrical discharge occurred when a cable company contractor made accidental contact with a high voltage power line. The high voltage electricity discharged to ground at the cable spool trailer, which was parked over the pipeline. After review of control center and additional field collected information, it was determined that the electrical discharge event occurred at app. 11:50 am on 6-28-2018. The pipeline was coincidentally being shutdown for other operational changes when field personnel called the control center to request shutdown and subsequent stand up pressure test to verify integrity. Inconclusive stand up integrity test results lead to further field investigation and ultimately field confirmation of a release at 8:40pm. 2018-9-13 updated quantity recovered. Updated 18a, local date/time operator identified failure. Updated part c, 3a with nominal diameter. 2019-4-9 finalized report with no additional changes.
