Narrative
On 06/27/2019 at 09:50 ct during a routine station inspection an enterprise technician identified 1 quart of crude seeping onto the concrete ring wall of tank #41123 at the cushing west terminal. At 11:07 this was determined to be a leak that would require over $50,000 to repair. The tank was drained and air gapped from facility piping. Upon internal examination of the tank, it was witnessed that interior tank coating had failed in several areas, resulting in internal corrosion. The tank has been repaired with a thicker annular ring and lined with an interior coating. On 5/1/2020 at 17:00 ct the tank was placed back into operational service. Initial call to nrc was made on 6/27/2019 at 11:15 local time (nrc#1250282). The call was made based on repair cost estimates exceeding $50,000. 48 hour update call to nrc was made on 6/28/2019 at 09:16 local time (nrc#1250381). No changes to original report.
