Narrative
Initial report-10/19/2021 imtt-bayonne was performing an excavation for continual integrity assessment of buried facility piping. During said excavation, a leak was discovered from the asset to be assessed. At this time corrosion is the factor, this report will be updated as the investigation progresses. At the time of discovery the leak was contained into a plastic drip pan which was evacuated by a vacuum truck. The vacuum truck was on standby to assist the excavation crew to control any ground water. Approximately 15 gallons leaked into the pan before operations was able to evacuate and isolate the line, which was recovered by the vacuum truck. The leak did not pose any threat to a public roadway, navigable waterway or active railroad as it was inside the facility.

The line was static at time of discovery. 11/30/2021 update- damaged pipe was removed and replaced.
