| 2625910 | Primary Facility | 2017-08-10 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | Found a release of crude oil inside the unlined diked area around the stock tanks. Also, there is an area of dead vegetation outside the diked area which would indicate a release of brine. From the recent weed whipping of the berm around the tanks and evidence that the tanks are being painted it appears that this is an unreported release.
Telephoned Doug Jones, of Catalyst, and we have agreed to meet on site tomorrow at 9:00 AM. |
| 2629206 | Primary Facility | 2017-08-11 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | Met with Doug Jones, Frank DiGnazio, Randy Baker and Ray the pumper at the site. They said that Ray had started working on the tank battery on Wednesday, 8/9/17, and had passed along to Randy Baker, his supervisor, about the spill on Thursday morning, 8/10/17. They had a small excavator and were getting ready to unearth a pipeline within the diked area that they think is the source of the produced fluids. We agreed that they would complete a report detailing the extent of the contamination and submit it to the Department for review, we would then meet and discuss the remediation.
You are hereby requested to follow Department Policy 800-5000-001, Addressing Spills and Releases at Oil & Gas Well Sites or Access Road. This Policy sets forth the procedures that should be followed to resolve the violations associated with the spill/discharge/release noted in this Notice of Violation by using either the Act 2 or the Alternative Remediation Process. A copy of the Policy is attached for your review. |
| 2630679 | Primary Facility | 2017-08-29 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | Don Hegburg and I inspected the site and discussed arranging a meeting with Catalyst to discuss their delineation of the contaminated area in and around the tank battery and their proposed remediation of the area. |
| 2644628 | Primary Facility | 2017-09-28 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | Follow up to check on any work being done to address the release found on 8/10/17. As can be seen in the attached photos, Catalyst has constructed a sump within the diked area and are apparently pumping groundwater into one of the stock tanks in the tank battery. |
| 2650271 | Primary Facility | 2017-10-17 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | Inspected site with Don Hegbug; we met Frank DiGnazio, of Catalyst, at the site. Catalyst's consultant, GES had staff onsite working on delineating the contamination. Catalyst is to contact us when when the delineation is complete to discuss remediation. |
| 2684056 | Primary Facility | 2018-01-19 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Inspected location. Well equipped to produce. |
| 2752432 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-11 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | Follow up to inspection/NOV of 8/10/17 |
| 2803041 | Primary Facility | 2018-11-06 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | Follow up inspection to check on restoration of the area disturbed by the cleanup from the release of 8/10/17. Telephoned Justin Henry and we discussed the need to complete the restoration. I also pointed out to Justin that since the ditch below the tank battery is not being pumped into the brine tank, there is currently no spill containment at the tank battery. He said he would call me with a plan as to when they would complete the work. |
