0279693739 2009-06-11 Enhanced Recovery Project Violations Noted An inspection revealed old oil, bare area(s) and stressed vegetation. Beginning at the well location oil and bare area measured 10 (width) and 30 (length) before extending over the hill. Stressed vegetation/thick brush along the edge of hill showed signs of pressure release as, old oil was observed along the tops. Following the path of stressed vegetation and bare area(s) lead directly to a nerby creek. At this location, the area consisted of bare ground, stressed vegetation and oil stained ground. Walked approximately 1500 of creek downstream and observed no crude oil. The total length of impact below hill was approximately 170 and width ranging from 15-50. Two sources for the release were found to be 1/4 valve with gauge broke off on the injection side of well. Lastly, a 2 black platic line from storage tank location to injection side may have leaked. Approximately 5 feet behind well next to line oil was observed. Spoke with Paul Grims employee, Mr. Paul Thompson whom states that this incident occurred last month. He states that the line broke and someone broke off gauge. Mr. Thompson was instructed to remove all contaminated material. Due to the terrain over the hillside, to include several trees and slope, potential erosion problems may occur from the operation of heavy equipment. Therefore, Bioremediation was suggested for this area. The estimated amount of oil released is unknown at this time, as rainfall events have occurred over the past month. Below hillside, the area consisted of mostly bare area with a few oil stains on ground surface. Unable to test injection side at this time. No pressure observed on the annulus.
