This was an EPA follow-up inspection in response to a National Response Center Spill Report (NRC No. 1357149) which was received by EPA Region 6. The initial spill inspection was conducted by EPA on 01/09/2023 with followup inspections being conducted 01/13/2023 and 02/07/2023. The purpose of the follow-up inspection was to observe any progress which may have been achieved by Calgary Energy, LLC in reducing pollution impacts to waters along the impacted tributary. The inspection was conducted by the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA) to determine compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. There was no other federal, state, or local agency representative present at the time of the inspection. FACILITY DESCRIPTION EPA conducted a follow-up inspection at the Calgary Energy, LLC, Tidal Osage Lease where a 4-inch diameter steel/chrome injection line failed, releasing produced saltwater to the land, the spilled saltwater ultimately flowed South into a nearby unnamed tributary of Little Hominy Creek. The NRC Spill Report stated approximately 175 barrels of saltwater was released. The injection line was connected to two separate saltwater pumps in addition to multiple saltwater injection wells. Section II - OBSERVATIONS I observed and elevated TDS field reading of 16,411 mg/L (GPS 36.538443, -96.415800) in the main channel of the impacted tributary of Little Hominy Creek, this field reading is documented in Photo No. 1 of Appendix 1 (Photo Log). This was the highest observed TDS field reading of the inspection. Continuing downstream, I observed an elevated TDS field reading of 5,298 mg/L (GPS 36.538199, 96.415087) in the main channel of the impacted tributary. See photo No. 2. I observed and elevated TDS field reading of 4,691 mg/L (GPS 36.537469, -96.414301) along the impacted tributary. See photo No. 3. At the lowermost temporary containment dam, I observed a TDS field reading of 1,875 mg/L (GPS 36.537254, -96.413136) in the unnamed tributary. This represented the lowest observed TDS field reading of the inspection. See photo No. 4. I observed 4 men conducting cleanup activities, including pumping water from the impacted tributary, and hauling water from the location in a vacuum truck. 2 Calgary Energy, LLC / Tidal Osage Lease CWA Inspection Date 02/09/2023 TDS field readings observed during the inspection were taken with a properly calibrated YSI Pro 30 conductivity meter. Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN Calgary Energy, LLC should ensure an appropriate amount of manpower is maintained daily along the impacted area. Calgary Energy, LLC should continue removing elevated TDS waters from the impacted tributary. The flowpath from the release point to the point of entry should be cleaned. Cleanup activities should continue until background TDS readings are observed along the impacted tributary. Section IV - FOLLOW UP EPA Inspector received no additional information related to spill cleanup after exiting the location on 02/09/2023. EPA Inspector will continue follow-up phone calls and additional site visits until the impacted tributary is restored to background TDS levels.
