Incident Narrative
"ON 10/3/19 A DELEK AERIAL PATROL REPORTED THE POTENTIAL PRESENCE OF FREE PRODUCT IN THE PIPELINE ROW BETWEEN SULFUR SPRINGS AND GREENVILLE, TX. AT THE TIME OF THE ROUTINE AERIAL SURVEY, THE PIPELINE WAS BEING FILLED WITH DIESEL FUEL FOLLOWING THE RECENT COMPLETION OF REPAIRS ON PORTIONS OF THE PIPELINE AT LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED IN AN EARLIER ILI ASSESSMENT IN 2017. THE PIPELINE FILLING OPERATIONS WERE SHUTDOWN, MOV'S CLOSED, AND PERSONNEL DISPATCHED TO INVESTIGATE AND, UPON CONFIRMATION OF A RELEASE, TO FURTHER ISOLATE THE LINE SECTION. THE FAILURE SITE WAS LOCATED, THE RELEASE WAS CONFIRMED AND AN AREA NEAR THE OBSERVED RELEASE WAS EXCAVATED TO EXPOSE THE FAILED SEGMENT AND A CLAMP WAS INSTALLED. THE FAILED SECTION OF PIPE WAS REMOVED AND SENT TO A LABORATORY FOR METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS. THE LAB IDENTIFIED THE FAILURE CAUSE TO BE EXCAVATION DAMAGE. THE FAILED PIPE SECTION WAS REPLACED WITH NEW PIPE AND THE COMPLETE PIPELINE SYSTEM SUBJECTED TO A HYDROTEST."
