Narrative
On october 15, 2019, a company employee was conducting a routine facility inspection at the monticello station on the chicap pipeline system. The employee identified free standing crude oil in the pump manifold area around 09:30 and the line was immediately shut down. The site was excavated and a tightness test of the station piping was conducted. A leak was found on the two inch drain line near the low point of the system. The two inch line is a drain line to the sump off of a 16 inch by-pass line for the station pumps. A total of ten feet of pipe was replaced to repair the leak at convenient tie-in and isolation points (six feet of 2" and four feet of 16"). The leak was due to internal corrosion. The mitigating actions to prevent recurrence are to apply learnings to supplement dead leg management and the facility inspection program.
