Spill Description:
While pulling a load of produced water from the Rulison Section 19 Tank Facility, the water hauler failed to open the correct manifold valve causing one of the tanks of overflow inside the lined, metal secondary containment structure. The tank overfill was noticed immediately and the correct valve was opened thereby stopping the overfill. The contractor dispatched a vac-truck to the location and was able to recover 100% of the fluid from the containment structure. None of the fluid escaped the secondary containment structure and there were no off-site or other environmental impacts. The root cause of this incident was human error. The contractor was required to investigate the incident and to provide a specific procedure to prevent re-occurence of this type of incident. Training on the new procedure will be provided to all drivers working for this company.
