OSC Karen Buerki was dispatched to the scene of a leaking aviation kerosene pipeline, NRC Report #890073, at the Colonial Pipeline Company Atlanta Junction Breakout Tank Farm in Austell, GA. During the day on November 14, 2008, Colonial Pipeline personnel discovered a leak of approximately 2000 gallons a day and as of nightfall on Friday, the source had not yet been found.
|
|
OSC Buerki consulted with Colonial's Environmental Manager, Jeff Richards, providing oversight of the cleanup operations. Colonial hired SWS and HEPACO and both had crews on-scene. An interceptor trench was dug to recover the leaking kerosene. No kerosene had reached the oil/water separator or stormwater pond. There does not appear to be a threat of a discharge to surface water at this time.
|
|
Colonial will continue to excavate around the pump manifolds to locate and repair the leak.
