if work proceeding under an approved Form 27: | N/A | | | | Spill Description: | | Upon entering the facility, TEP pumper discovered produced water running out of the pump building, across the access road to the facility, and pooling in a shallow depression approximately 30-ft south of the pump building. The employee immediately cut power to the pump inside the building which killed the spill. The cause of the spill was equipment failure. Corrosion of a 1.5-inch carbon steel bushing on the Y-strainer before the discharge pump caused the bushing to fail and was the source of the leak. All of the water flowed in a southerly direction out of the building and accumulated in a large shallow depression on the south side of the access road leading into the facility. Due to the dry nature of the soils, none of the water could be recovered by the time a vac truck arrived. None of the water came close to reaching the nearby Ryan Gulch (dry). Production personnel will tap the strainer and replace the bushing with a stainless steel 2-inch bushing to prevent reoccurrence. | | |
