Incident Narrative
APPROXIMATELY 1.8 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED FROM THE SSU 3732 RECEIVER AT PIONEER JUNCTION STATION. THE DATE AND TIME OF THE RELEASE (PART A Q4) ARE INDICATIVE OF THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME THE RELEASE COULD HAVE STARTED, BASED ON THE LAST TIME THE STATION HAD BEEN VISITED AND CONFIRMED TO BE NO RELEASE OF CRUDE OIL. THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE IS ATTRIBUTED TO EQUIPMENT FAILURE OF THE O-RING AS A RESULT OF EROSION/ABNORMAL WEAR. TO PREVENT FUTURE INCIDENTS, THE O-RING WAS REPLACED.
