THE GAS CONTROLLER NOTIFIED LOCAL OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY AFTER, AND OPERATIONS ARRIVED ON SITE AT APPROXIMATELY 10:00 AM. ONCE ONSITE AND INSPECTED IT WAS DETERMINED AN EXCAVATION WOULD BE NECESSARY BASED ON SIZE OF THE LEAK. AT THIS TIME AN EMERGENCY ONE-CALL TICKET WAS CALLED. AN OPERATOR REMAINED ONSITE TO SECURE THE SITE. AFTER THE RISER WAS DUG UP AND INVESTIGATED ON APRIL 5TH, AT APPROXIMATELY 9:29 AM, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LEAK WAS UPSTREAM OF THE DOMESTIC LINE TAP VALVE. AT THIS POINT SSC IMPLEMENTED A 20% PRESSURE REDUCTION. BECAUSE THE LINE COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE SSC NOTIFIED NRC BECAUSE OF THE REPAIR COST EXCEEDING $50,000.\n\nPHMSA trend classification: significant incident, not serious.\n\nPHMSA standardized cause: OTHER OUTSIDE FORCE DAMAGE — OTHER OUTSIDE FORCE DAMAGE.\n\nPHMSA indexed costs: $140,784 reported total cost, $70,771.354 in 1984 dollars, $173,898.769 in current-year dollars.\n\nPHMSA trend flags, standardized causes, and indexed costs are analytical fields added to operator-reported incident data.
