| Spill Description: |
| On July 20, 2014, an operator discovered an active release from the Cottonwood 14-33 wellhead. The release was due to excess pressure in the flowline and a failure in the safety valve. The well was shut in upon discovery. A vacuum truck was called to the site to recover standing fluid and hydrocarbon impacted soil. The remaining impacted material will be excavated and transported to Buffalo Ridge Landfill in Keenesburg, Colorado for disposal. |
