Incident Narrative
APPROXIMATELY 4.0 BBLS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED DUE TO INTERNAL CORROSION OF THE TANK 1242 FILL LINE. THE PLAINS OPERATOR DISCOVERED THE RELEASE UPON ARRIVING FOR HIS NORMAL SHIFT. THE OPERATOR TEMPORARILY PLUGGED THE HOLE TO STOP THE LEAK. THIS SEGMENT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE AS IT WAS AN OPTIONAL FILL LINE. THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE WERE UPDATED, TO REFLECT THE CORRECT COORDINATES, ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT.
