ON 2/19/2016 A SLOW DRIP FROM THE 1201 SUN PIPELINE WAS DETECTED BY A KINDER MORGAN EMPLOYEE AT 09:00 EST. THE EMPLOYEE CALLED THE CONTROL ROOM AND THE PIPELINE WAS SHUTDOWN. A DRIP PAN WAS PLACED UNDERNEATH TO CONTAIN THE COMMODITY LOSS AND MAINTENANCE WAS CALLED TO REPAIR THE VALVE. THE VALVE WAS DETERMINED TO CONTAIN INCOMPATIBLE PACKING WITH THE COMMODITY. LATER THAT EVENING THE VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THE PIPELINE RESTARTED.
