Spill Description:
Approximately 8 bbls of clean, treated produced water overflowed a temporary water storage (frac) tank located near the GM 245-1-796 well pad location (COGCC ID 413761). The temporary storage tank overflowed due to produced water being pumped at a higher rate than valve sensors at the receiving facility would allow. As a result, the valve sensors closed the valve and produced water ran back into the storage tank and overflowed through the top hatch of the tank. A contract operator on location was able to shut the pump down immediately and stop the release. All water was captured within an earthen berm secondary containment structure. Although Hayes Gulch is located immediately adjacent to the operation, no water entered Hayes Gulch. A vac-truck was immediately dispatched and was able to recover 6 out the 8 bbls that was released. Samples of the impacted area have been collected and sent for analysis to determine if COGCC cleanup standards have been exceeded.
