Incident Narrative

APPROXIMATELY 2.1 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED FROM THE AAPL WINK SOUTH TO HENDRICK 16INCH PIPELINE. THE DATE AND TIME OF THE RELEASE (PART A Q4) IS INDICATIVE OF THE EARLIEST DATE/TIME THE RELEASE COULD HAVE STARTED BASED ON THE LAST TIME THE RIGHT-OF-WAY HAD BEEN INSPECTED PRIOR TO THE RELEASE. TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE RELEASE, PLAINS INSTALLED A CLAMP. A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT AND ADDITIONAL PREVENTATIVE MEASURES. SUPPLEMENTAL (1): THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE IS ATTRIBUTED TO INTERNAL CORROSION AS A RESULT OF A CORROSIVE COMMODITY. TO PREVENT FUTURE RELEASES, THE PIPELINE WAS PURGED AND IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION. SUPPLEMENTAL (2): CORRECTION TO PART K; HEAVY RAIN/FLOODS DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO OR PLAY A FACTOR IN THIS RELEASE.
