Site Description

On 30JAN05 a bleed-off line was left on filling and overflowing a sump with an estimated 15 barrels of crude oil from the storage system at the ZR Umbarger Tank Battery in Heidelberg, MS.  This facility is operated by Denbury Resources.  


Current Activities

Planned Removal Actions

The facility intends to continue containment measures and properly treat/dispose saturated soil.

Key Issues

Facility conducted appropriate response actions; however, heavy rains caused some oil to escape containment and enter waters of the United States.
