Incident Narrative
A HIGH LEVEL ALARM WAS RECEIVED BY THE CONTROL CENTER FROM A 12 BBL SUMP TANK INSTALLED IN ATLAS STATION, WITHIN THE DIKE WALL OF TANK 691. A LOCAL OPERATOR ON SITE PROVING METERS WAS CALLED AND MANUALLY STARTED THE SUMP PUMP TO DRAIN THE TANK. THE SUMP WAS DRAINED AND THE OPERATOR LEFT THE SITE. A HIGH LEVEL ALARM WAS AGAIN RECEIVED BY THE CONTROL CENTER. THE OPERATOR WAS CONTACTED AGAIN, BUT WAS OFF-SITE. THE OPERATOR RETURNED TO THE SITE, JUST AFTER OTHER MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL ON SITE NOTICED OIL EMANATING FROM THE SUMP. THE SOURCE OF THE RELEASE WAS ORIGINALLY BELIEVED TO A FAILED PUMP SEAL, BUT WAS LATER DISCOVERED TO BE A CHECK VALVE THAT FAILED TO RESEAT EXPOSING THE DRAIN LINE AND SUMP TO OIL FROM THE ADJACENT TANK 691. THE TANK WAS ISOLATED AND LOCAL MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL PREVENTED PROPAGATION OF THE RELEASED OIL. CLEAN-UP BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AS A VAC TRUCK HAD BEEN STAGED ON SITE.
