| On March 4, 2014, a leak in the tank cleanout plate gasket was discovered while the water tank was being filled for completion operations. Approximately 21 bbls of treated, recycled produced water were released onto the ground surface of the bermed well pad. In order to stop the release, the remaining water in the leaking tank was removed and the tank was isolated from the water manifold system. A vacuum truck was used to recover approximately 10.5 bbls of standing treated, recycled produced water from the ground surface. Soil sampling of the release area was delayed until June 11, 2014, when the tank was removed and the release area could be accessed. The initial Form 19 was submitted via email on March 11, 2014 (Document No. 2147933). A topographic Site Location Map showing the general location of the release is attached as Figure 1. |
