Accident Classified As: Below Reportable Quantity (BRQ)
Cause of Problem: No Information Given
On October 8 at approximately 11 AM, a release of lubricating oil was reported. They were doing excavation work on an old, underground line. They are not sure if the excavator hit the line and caused the release or if the age of the line had caused wear that made the release. No more product was released to the soil, so they are sure it was probably residual material in the pipeline.
Discharge Preventable - No Information Given
Notes/Remedial Actions
Due to prompt incident response to mitigate the event duration, no reportable quantities were exceeded. Some reports estimate 1 barrel of a mixture of oil and water was released into the soil. No specific remedial actions for release onto soil given.
