Spill Description:
An isolation valve continued to leak after being closed. Overnight, the faulty valve allowed clean, treated water (for reuse) to overflow at a transfer pump and from the temporary containment structure. The water collected in several low spots near the transfer pump. The spill was discovered early this morning (1/30/18). TEP and contractor personnel identified the source of the leak and placed an end-cap on the faulty valve which stopped the leak. Vac trucks were used to clean up any standing water. Composite soil samples were collected and field-screened for TPH. The field data indicate the water had a very low hydrocarbon content. Verification soil samples are being collected for lab analysis to confirm that COGCC cleanup standards were not exceeded. KenGro absorbent material ws placed on wet soils after standing water was recovered. Faulty valve will be replaced and the process for winterizing pumps and associated equipment will be corrected to prevent future incidents.
