Narrative
On the morning of 10/1/18 at approximately 6:00am, rose rock measurement tech arrived at the hudson station and noticed there was standing crude oil north of the mainline pd pumps. The measurement tech made notifications to his supervisor who then contacted the control center to shut down the station. The control center verified that the station had been down since 23:05 on 9/30/18. The measurement tech then closed the valve at tank 413 and locked out all the inbound truck lacts. Our repair contractor arrived and excavated and exposed the 12" suction line to the mainline pd pumps where the leak originated. On 10/1/18 a temporary clamp was installed to stop the leak and on 10/2/18 approximately 54" of pipe was cut out and replaced. Upon removal of the pipe it was determined that internal corrosion was the cause of the leak. The impacted soil was excavated and transported to an onsite land farm for treatment per kdhe approval.
