On 9 March 2013 EPA was notified by the National Response Center (NRC) of a 1500 barrels (bbls) crude oil spill at the Lion Oil Trading & Transportation, Inc. facility located in Magnolia, Columbus County, Arkansas (NRC #1040525). The responsible party (RP), Lion Oil Trading & Transportation, Inc., reported that the spill occurred from a failure in their suction pump, which transports crude oil from the tank battery to a underground 12 inch transmission line that is monitored with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The discharged oil filled a containment pond before flowing down gradient and impacting approximately 1 ½ miles of Little Cornie Bayou Creek. The RP dispatched personnel and deployed booms and vacuum (vac) trucks at various impacted areas to initiate recovery operations. On 9 March 2013 the EPA Federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) and Superfund Technical Assessment Response Team (START) arrived on site to investigate the spill and RP's response actions.
