Narrative
At 12:40 the terminal coordinator notified the terminal supervisor that there was a leak at the pig receiver. The terminal supervisor went to the receiver to do a visual inspection and to verify the location of the leak. He verified that diesel fuel was seeping at a very small rate out of the top of the sump tank that is connected to the receiver barrel. No product had made it off of the property. The mainline valve to the receiver barrel, cross over valve and the 2' drain valve to the sump were all in the closed position. At 12:45 the terminal supervisor called the terminals manager and advised him of the situation and that he was needing to shut the pipeline down. At 12:49 the terminal supervisor called pipeline ops, told him the situation and that we need to shut down the pipeline. The sc booster was shut off at 12:51. At 13:03 the maintenance manager called and was made aware of what all was going on concerning the leak. The maintenance manager called the terminal supervisor back at 13:22 to tell him that a vac truck would be heading that way. At 13:25 the utility tech called and said he would be heading that way as well. Terminal coordinator and supervisor put down absorbent pads around the sump tank and anywhere else that the product had puddled into. They also put one of the additive transfer pumps into the sump and pumped some of the product out into an empty barrel to keep the product from seeping out of the top of the sump tank. Utility tech arrived at switz city at 15:55 and the vac truck arrived at 16:15. The product in the sump and receiving barrel was vacuumed out. Utility tech replaced the drain valve. He also checked and verified the setting on the pressure relief valve. The pipeline started back up at 17:30. The clean up of the product that spilled out onto the ground was estimated to be around 15 gallons.
