Nov 21 (Reuters) - BP said on Friday that its
Olympic Pipeline crew excavated over 100 feet (0.03 km) of
pipeline following a leak earlier this month near Everett,
Washington, but have not identified the source of the leak so
far.
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson on Wednesday declared an
emergency as a result of a Olympic Pipeline shutdown, which has
disrupted jet fuel supply to Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport.
"Crews have safely excavated over 100 feet of pipeline but
have not yet identified the source of the release. Excavation
and inspection of the pipeline will continue overnight," a
company spokesperson said in an emailed statement, adding that
the pipeline remains shut at this time.
