Incident Narrative
"A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE LANDOWNER WAS TAKING OUT A HEDGE ROW ALONG A FENCE LINE WITH A D-8 DOZER FITTED WITH RIPPER BLADES WHEN HE PUNCTURED THE LINE, CAUSING THE RELEASE. PRIOR NOTIFICATION HAD NOT BEEN MADE TO THE NEBRASKA ONE-CALL TELEPHONE CENTER SO MAGELLAN WAS NOT AWARE OF THE EXCAVATION ACTIVITY UNTIL AFTER THE LINE HAD BEEN PUNCTURED. THE LINE WAS REPAIRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH 49 CFR PART 195 AND COMPANY PROCEDURES, AND THE IMPACTED WATERWAYS AND SOIL WERE REMEDIATED ACCORDING TO COMPANY AND GOVERNMENT STANDARDS."
