Site Description

On 25 December 2007 the Nacogdoches County Sheriffs Office was notified of an oil spill located off Oil Spring Road (East of State Highway 226) in Woden, Nacogdoches County, Texas.  The origin of the spill was determined to be a gunshot hole in an abandoned 210 barrel above ground storage tank (AST).  

Approximately 170 barrels of oil was released into Oil Spring Creek.  Oil Spring Creek feeds Moss Creek, which ultimately empties into Sam Rayburn Reservoir.  Sam Rayburn Reservoir is a public water supply to the surrounding towns and communities.
