THE LEAK WAS IMMEDIATELY REPORTED TO OPERATIONS AND THE TANK WAS ISOLATED. OPERATIONS PERSONNEL RESPONDED TO THE SITE AND CONTACTED THE MAINTENANCE CREW AND CLEAN UP CONTRACTORS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A TANK MIXER SEAL FAILED ON THE \"B\" MIXER AND RELEASED CRUDE OIL. THE MAINTENANCE CREW PLACED A CATCH PAN UNDER THE MIXER TO STOP ANY FURTHER CRUDE OIL FROM BEING RELEASED TO THE GROUND. APPROXIMATELY 20 GALLONS OF CRUDE OIL WAS RELEASED. A VACUUM TRUCK RESPONDED TO COLLECT ANY FREE PRODUCT AND MEASURES WERE TAKEN TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER MIGRATION OF THE CRUDE OIL WITHIN THE TANK DIKE AREA. CONTAMINATED GRAVEL AND SOIL FROM THE AREA WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW FILL AND GRAVEL. THE LEVEL OF THE TANK WAS PULLED DOWN BELOW THE MIXER AND MECHANICS REPLACED THE SEAL. THE MIXER WAS ALSO EXAMINED FOR ANY INDICATIONS OF MECHANICAL ISSUES AND NONE WERE DISCOVERED. THE CAUSE OF THE TANK MIXER SEAL FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO BE NORMAL WEAR OF THE EQUIPMENT.\n\nPHMSA trend classification: not significant, not serious.\n\nPHMSA standardized cause: EQUIPMENT FAILURE — NON-THREADED CONNECTION FAILURE.\n\nPHMSA indexed costs: $6,940 reported total cost, $2,874.34 in 1984 dollars, $7,078.614 in current-year dollars.\n\nPHMSA trend flags, standardized causes, and indexed costs are analytical fields added to operator-reported incident data.
