Spill Description:
A rubber gasket failed on the produced water discharge line at the Golding 4 pump house causing a release of approximately 130 bbls of produced water. The water was released onto the edge of the tank battery pad and ran down a gentle slope a distance of approximately 100 yards where most of the water was collected and contained in a dry storm water sediment basin located near the access road. A vac-truck was used to recover ~100 bbls of produced water from the sediment basin. The remaining ~30 bbls soaked into the dry soils and could not be recovered. Samples from impacted soils were collected for lab analysis, and field screening measurements for TPH ranged from 52 ppm to 216 ppm. The water was recovered quickly from the storm water basin, and there were no impacts to surface or ground water resources. The rubber gasket was replaced with a metal gasket rated for higher operating pressures to prevent any future issues.
