Type: Category 1 Spill; Air Relief Valve (ARV)/ Blow-Off Valve (BOV) Failure caused 1 gallons of sewage to spill from Force Main at 5400 E. 2nd St. Long Beach CA. to Surface Water |
Repaired Facilities or Replaced Defect. Upon arriving on-site, our team began corrective actions to stop the leakage and prevent future occurrences. Our approach consisted of the following steps:
1. Immediate Spill Stoppage: We replaced the corroded part under the bridge, effectively halting the leakage and preventing further sewage spillage into the water.
2. Investigation and Assessment: We conducted a thorough examination of the part and the surrounding system components to identify any additional areas of concern.
3. Devising Long-term Solutions: We will work with engineering to design a more robust system for the defective part on the air relief valve to withstand the harsh environmental conditions under the bridge, considering factors like moisture, saltwater, and potential physical impacts.
4. Regular Inspections and Maintenance: We will increase the frequency of inspections for this specific location and implement preventative maintenance procedures, as well as maintenance on the ARV. |
