The Facility D314E19802 Oil Spill is located in Bluff, Utah directly adjacent to the Navajo Reservation in Southeast Utah. A transmission line leak was discovered on March 1, 2019 which flowed approximately 3.5 river-miles to the San Juan River, in San Juan County, Utah. The site of the release was on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and upstream of the Navajo Nation lands.
After discovering the responsible party took immediate actions to address and contain the spill. EPA mobilized one On-Scene-Coordinator (OSC) and two Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) contractors to respond at the request of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UT DEQ) on March 1, 2019.
