1.1.1 Incident Category
Oil Pollution Act (OPA) crude oil spill of approximately 10-20 barrels.
1.1.2 Site Description
On Tuesday,
Sept 14th 2010, TDEC Oil and Gas' Jeff Patton reported a significant
oil spill along an unnamed creek to the Wolf River east of Byrdstown,
Tennessee. Upon inspection the OSC found that approximately 20 barrells
(700 gallons) of crude oil had leaked from a storage tank along
Moodyville Road.
It appears that the crude oil leak has migrated to limestone
formation under the storage tanks and into a fresh water spring leading
to the creek. The oil lease is operated by Ohio Kentucky Oil
Corporation of Lexington, Kentucky and they have assumed responsibility
for the spill. The OSC contacted Ohio Kentucky Oil's Regional
Operations Chief, John Spalding who has committed to clean up the spill
along a 400 yard stretch of the creek before it enters the Wolf River.
1.1.2.1 Location
The oil spill is located along Moodyville Road approximately 2 miles east of Byrdstown, Tennessee. The spill was contained to an unnamed creek to the Wolf River east of Dale Hollow Lake in Pickett County.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Crude oil leak from a storage tank battery along Moodyville Road east of Byrdstown, Tennessee to a fresh water spring and unnamed creek to the Wolf River and Dale Hollow Lake watershed area of Pickett County, Tennessee.

On Tuesday,
Sept 14th 2010, TDEC Oil and Gas' reported a significant
oil spill along an unnamed creek to the Wolf River east of Byrdstown,
Tennessee. Upon inspection the OSC found that approximately 10 to 20 barrells of crude oil had leaked from a storage tank along

2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
Ohio Kentucky Oil mobilized a clean up crew from Albany, Kentucky and began clean up efforts once notified of the spill. On Wednesday, Sept 15th, the OSC met with Bob Withers, a regional coordinator of Ohio Kentucky Oil. Withers stated that Ohio Kentucky Oil would continue placement of boom and absorbent pads along the 400 yard stretch of the creek and spring to contain the crude oil spill and mitigate the impact to the Wolf River. The OSC served John Spalding of Ohio Kentucky Oil with a Notice of Federal Interest to continue clean up efforts under OPA.
Boom and straw bales were placed at three pool areas along the 400 yard contaminated creek to enhance skimming operations. Clean up crews continued skimming and absorbent pad placement during the remainder of the week through Saturday, Sept 18th.
