Incident Narrative
"AT 11:20 A.M. ON 11/2/2018, A 3RD PARTY CONTRACTOR CALLED THE ROCKLIN CONTROL ROOM REPORTING THEY HAD JUST STRUCK A PIPELINE WITH AN AUGER WHILE CONDUCTING GEOTECHNICAL SURVEYS ALONG THE RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT LS-48 HAD BEEN STRUCK AND DIESEL WAS RELEASED FROM THE LINE AS THE STATIC PRESSURE IN THE LINE DROPPED FROM 70 PSI TO 0. THE LINE WAS EXCAVATED, PURGED, AND THE DAMAGED PORTION CUT OUT AND REPLACED WITH A NEW PIECE. AFTER SUCCESSFUL STATIC AND RUNNING TESTS, THE LINE WAS RETURNED TO NORMAL SERVICE AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AFTERWARD UNTIL THE MAJORITY OF THE CONTAMINATED SOIL HAD BEEN REMOVED TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE. AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACCIDENT REVEALED THAT LS-48 DID NOT HAVE PROPER MARKINGS AT THE TIME OF THE INITIAL LOCATE OR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, HOWEVER, THE PARALLEL SFPP LS-20 WAS PROPERLY MARKED. 1/30/2019 UPDATE- NO EDITS OR ADDITIONS FROM ORIGINAL. FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMITTED."
