Incident Narrative
ON 10/10/20 AT APPROXIMATELY 9AM IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT 10 BARRELS OF CRUDE HAD FLOWED OUT OF THE TANK 1531 ROOF DRAIN INTO THE CONTAINMENT AREA. DURING HURRICANE DELTA, TANK 1531 RECEIVED EXCESSIVE RAIN AND THE ROOF DRAINS COULD NOT KEEP UP. AS THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER INCREASED, OIL WAS ABLE TO COME UP THROUGH THE ROOF SOCKS. DURING THE MORNING ROUNDS THE RELEASE WAS DISCOVERED, THE ROOF DRAIN WAS CLOSED AND COMPANY PERSONNEL WERE SUMMONED. A REMEDIATION COMPANY WAS CONTACTED TO REMOVE THE OIL FROM CONTAINMENT AND PERFORM THE CLEANUP. ALL CONTAMINATED SOIL HAS BEEN REMOVED AND TAKEN OFF SITE FOR DISPOSAL.
