2.1.1 Narrative
Since the initial response on June 2 - 5, 2016, the Emergency
Rapid Response Services (ERRS) contractors have conducted "maintenance
trips" to restore the collection pool area after heavy rain events. Typically,
a one-inch rain event will raise Obey River levels 2-4 feet thereby washing out
the collection pool area.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
On Thursday, August 25, the OSC
met with TDEC Oil and Gas representative and two TDEC contractors in an attempt
to find one of the abandoned well located southwest of the spill area. All parties surveyed a 2-3-acre area along the
farm’s wood-line looking for the abandoned well, but no well was located. Two
other wells, south of the spill area, appear to have residual oil at a depth of
270 feet.
2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
A fourth well, southeast of the spill on an adjacent farm
was identified, and access was granted for sampling and potential plugging, by
the property owner, on Thursday, Aug 25, 2016. They do not own mineral rights
to the property.
