1.1.1 Incident Category
Oil Pollution Act (OPA) crude oil spill of approximately 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.

2.1.1 Narrative
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
The OSC again inspected Ohio Kentucky Oil's clean up efforts along the unnamed creek to the Wolf River along Moodyville Road. Clean up contractors had recently switched out boom and absorbent pads along the creek and from the upgradient pool near the Jones home. A small amount of oil continues to stream from the spring behind the Jones residence and no significant rainfall has occurred in over two weeks to assist in flushing the oil from the spring. Mr and Mrs Jones were not present during this site inspection.
On Wednesday, October 20th, the OSC spoke again with TDEC's Jeff Patton. Patton had recently spoken with a caretaker of the well for Ohio Kentucky Oil suggesting that the tank most likely contained between 20-30 barrels of crude and that the crude had a very distinctive "green" color suggesting a high sulfur content.
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
The OSC conducted another inspection of Ohio Kentucky's clean up efforts. Clean up contractors were on site switching out boom and pads and a significant amount of oil was visible from the spring. The area had recently received 0.5 to 1 inch of rain hopefully leading to a localized flushing of the spring. The OSC spoke with Mr Jones who continues to be concerned that the natural flushing of oil will take a significant amount of time. TDEC's Jeff Patton had inspected the clean up on Monday and generated a brief report for his supervisor, Mike Burton, TDEC Oil and Gas.
