On Wednesday, Feb 9, 2011, TDEC Oil and Gas Glenn Burke reported that the responsible party for an oil spill in Deer Lodge, Tenn had recently failed to finish clean up activities of an approx 30 barrel crude oil spill to Husky Lake in Deer Lodge. Husky Lake drains into Clear Fork Creek and the Big South Fork River of middle Tennessee.
The OSC contacted the responsible party, LRS Oil of Indianapolis, Indiana and informed them that a Notice of Federal Interest was being issued and that EPA expected the work to be completed in a timely manner by a reputable clean up contractor.
