Accident Classified As: Reportable Quantity
Cause of Problem: Weather
Stormwater removed during Hurricane Rita fromt the containment area to prevent equipment damage was processed for discharge through OF 001. During the discharge, a by-pass valve failure allowed the discharge of some untreated wastewater containing chloroform. Post incident inspection found that the by-pass valve could not be completely closed even though all of the valve's external position markers indicated it was in a fully closed position.
Discharge Preventable - No Information Given
Notes/Remedial Actions
The valve was replaced, and a blind was inserted in the line to prevent any further leakage.
