The USFS Requested EPA assistance with a 100+ barrel oil spill from a 4-inch production pipeline owned by Aspen Oil. Oil has migrated from the pipeline into Walker Branch Creek. Walker Branch Creek flows into Big Sandy Creek and into Eagle Mountain Lake.  OSC Enders and an EPA Team were mobilized to conduct assessment activities and to provide mitigation of the spilled oil as needed.
