Accident Classified As: Below Reportable Quantity (BRQ)
On March 5,2014 at approximately 7:21am, a leak was discovered on a flare line at the RLA-1 unit. At the initial notification, a potential reportable quantity excedance for propylene, VOC, isoprene, and methyl chloride was reported. Further refinement of the emissions indicates a current local release of 36 pounds per 24 hours of VOC only. Since event discovery, no reportable quantities have been exceeded. Daily fence line monitoring is being conducted and all readings have been below detectable limits thus far. ExxonMobil is working to safely isolate this release. Any change in release status will be communicated to all agencies.
As of the 3/12/2014 letter, the release was ongoing.
