Incident Narrative
ON 12/1/2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 22:10 LOCAL OPERATING PERSONNEL DISCOVERED CRUDE OIL COMING FROM THE GROUND NEAR THE TANK 23 FLUSH LINE. ALL INCOMING AND OUTGOING MOVEMENTS WERE SHUTDOWN UNTIL THE SOURCE COULD BE IDENTIFIED. HYDRO-EXCAVATION WAS COMPLETED AND VERIFIED THE SOURCE TO BE TANK 23 FLUSH LINE. A CLAMP WAS INSTALLED AND ALL MOVEMENTS RESTARTED. AFTER METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PINHOLE WAS CAUSED BY CARBON DIOXIDE ATTACK OF THE PIPE. TANK 23 FLUSH LINE HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THIS IS THE FINAL REPAIR TO CLOSE THE REPORT.
