Accident Classified As:
Oily material from the GATX pond was discovered discharging through Outfall 006. Due to the severe rain event that was on-going and in an effort to relieve the high level in our primary equalization tank, the refinery bypassed streams qualifying for first flush process area storm-water to the GATX pond.
Additional correspondence will be submitted detailing the root cause of the incident and prevent-ability.
Upon discovery of the oily discharge, the outfall valve was closed and waters were allowed to accumulate in the pond. The incident was reported and clean up was mobilized to the GATX pond and the adjacent wetlands.
