They were utilizing a pump to transfer water from the pit on location to the tanks. During the transfer one of the hands on-site heard the pump start to loose it's prime. He went to check the pump while the other hand hooked up a hose to start filling the remaining three tanks. What they failed to communicate to one another was the valve to the full tank was still open and not directed to the empty tanks. Thinking flow was directed to the empty tanks, the hand monitoring the tanks climbed down off the tanks and went to the pump. When the pump was operating normally he went back to the tanks and observed the full tank overflowing. When the release was discovered, the water management personnel immediately halted the water transfer operation and closed the valve to the full tank. The entire release was contained to a small area on the pad surface. They were able to recover approximately 2 barrels of fluid as noted above. No surface water or groundwater was impacted by the release.The vast majority of the spill is underneath the frac tanks. Due to the upcoming frac job and safety issues the impacted area will be sampled when the frac job is complete and all equipment has been removed from the location. The sample will be analyzed for the full COGCC Table 910-1 analytical suite. Further remedial actions, if warranted, will be based on these results. 0 0 0 0 10 2 0 0 0 0 2220 false false 0 0 false false false false false false true false true true true false 192 62 4 400864719 1 2015-07-08T00:00:00-06:00 true false false false Water management personnel were filling frac tanks on location for an up coming frac job.
