Incident Narrative
"A COMPANY PIPELINE TECHNICIAN ARRIVING AT COFFEYVILLE STATION UNIT DISCOVERED A DIESEL RELEASE FROM A FILTER VESSEL. UPON DISCOVERY, THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED PIPELINE CONTROL OF THE RELEASE AND VERIFIED THAT THE LINE WAS DOWN. THE FILTER VESSEL WAS THEN ISOLATED FOR REPAIR. THEN THE FILTER WAS DRAINED, THE O-RING REPLACED, AND THE FILTER WAS PLACED BACK IN SERVICE. HEAVY RAIN STORMS AND A LOOSELY COMPACTED PIPE TRENCH PROVIDED MECHANISMS FOR THE RELEASED PRODUCT TO SPREAD TO MORE SOIL THAN INITIALLY ANTICIPATED."
