Spill Description:
Contract water hauler failed to close load-line valve on produced water tank resulting in release of approximately 30 bbls of produced water into a lined, metal secondary containment structure. A TEP employee discovered the release and called for a vac-truck to recover free liquids inside the secondary containment structure. The vac-truck was able to recover some free liquid, but most of the water was already frozen by the time the truck showed up. A hot water truck will flush the containment today (02/13/19) to melt and recover the rest of the water that was frozen. The recovered water will all be taken to TEP's centralized Parachute Water Management Facility for further treatment and re-use. TEP has requested that the water hauler conduct an investigation as to how / why the valve was left open, and to provide a response for how to prevent this incident from re-occurring.
