Cause detail: ON 11/1/2024, JAYHAWK PIPELINE PERSONNEL ARRIVED ONSITE AT CHASE STATION AND IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE RELEASE TO THE CONTROL ROOM PERSONNEL. THE CONTROLLER CONFIRMED THE TANK WAS NOT ACTIVELY RECEIVING OR DELIVERING PRODUCT TO/FROM THE SYSTEM AND FURTHER ISOLATED THE TANK FROM SERVICE. THE CONTROLLER NOTIFIED A QI AND EH&S NOTIFIED KDHE OF THE RELEASE (KDHE SPILL #: 20241101-002). CLEANUP OF THE RELEASED PRODUCT WAS INITIATED WHEN ADDITIONAL FIELD STAFF ARRIVED ONSITE. THE SOURCE OF THE RELEASE WAS FOUND TO BE THE ROOF DRAIN ON TANK 2054. THE DRAIN WAS DESIGNED WITH A SMALL SECTION OF FLEXIBLE HOSE CONNECTING TWO PIECES OF PIPE FOR THE DRAIN. THE ROOF DRAIN COMPONENTS BECAME OFFSET DUE TO GUIDE CHAIN MISALIGNMENT, CAUSING THE HOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF PIPE TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE ROOF DRAIN SYSTEM WAS REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT DRAIN DESIGN TO PREVENT POTENTIAL RECURRENCE.
