1.1.1 Incident Category
Oil Pollution Act (OPA) crude oil spill of approximately 30 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 - 30 barrells
(700 gallons) of crude oil had leaked from a storage tank along
Moodyville Road.
The crude oil has leaked into a 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 continues to coordinate the response clean up effort with the responsible party, Ohio Kentucky Oil and TDEC's Jeff Patton. Ohio Kentucky Oil's Chief Operations Officer, John Spalding has committed to clean up the spill
along the 400 yard stretch of the creek before it enters the Wolf River.
During the week of October 11th, 2010, Ohio Kentucky Oil arranged for the excavation and staging of approx 20 cubic yards of oil saturated soil and the removal of the affected tank. During tank removal, a two inch hole was noted on the under-surface of the tank. (see images section)
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, February, 8th, 2011
The OSC again inspected Ohio Kentucky Oil's clean up efforts along the unnamed creek to the Wolf River. Clean up contractors had recently switched out boom near the freshwater spring outfall 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. Crude oil odor is notable from the spring area. Mr. Jones continues to be concerned about the time required to flush the crude oil from his spring.
The OSC was also informed by TDEC Oil and Gas Jeff Patton that the well caretaker Mr Hansen had recently had medical problems which will most likely severly limit his ability to monitor the clean up effort.
