Releases of oil or hazardous substances that potentially impacted a Water of the United States since May 1, 2017.

A gasoline release was discovered on December 30, 2020 at the Magellan Fort Smith Terminal in Fort Smith, Arkansas. All pipeline and facility movements were immediately shut down and emergency response procedures were implemented. Product recovery and containment was accomplished by use of containment booms with vacuum trucks and construction of underflow dams as defensive measures to minimize the foot print and offsite consequences of the released product. These defensive measures succeeded in keeping the total release volume of 85 barrels predominantly contained on terminal property. An estimated 3.4 barrels of product was recovered from Mill Creek.

A 93-barrel release of diesel fuel, attributed to vandalism, occurred on April 24, 2019 in an unnamed drainage channel downstream of Cottonwood Lake near Cottonwood, Minnesota. Magellan’s 8-inch pipeline was inactive at the time of the release. Emergency response activities were immediately initiated, including the additional closure of isolation valves. Containment booms were deployed along the drainage channel at strategic locations downstream of the release site. Product was collected using skimmers, vacuum trucks, and sorbent materials. The drainage channel feeds into the Yellow Medicine River. During the initial hours of the response a product sheen was observed in the Yellow Medicine River near the outfall from the drainage channel.
