FACILITY DESCRIPTION
EPA conducted an inspection on the MidAmerica Environmental Holdings, LLC / USA Disposal - El Dorado site, which is a drilling mud bulking facility for oil-based and water-based drilling fluids, Exploration and Production (E&P) wastes, and additional liquid wastes listed in the State No-Discharge (SND) permit issued by the State of Arkansas. There are five (5) concrete holding pits, approximately 23 frac tanks, one (1) storage building for bulking material (sawdust), one (1) concrete slab for stockpiling bulked material (sawdust blended with liquid wastes), one (1) stormwater pond, and several outbuildings used as storage and office space. Approximately 6.5 acres of the active property have been used for land filling and land application of bulked material.
The facility was formally a mining site and borrow pit for clay soil.
The original IGP was issued 06/11/2015, and the IGP has been recertified once for 2019. The general permit expires 06/30/2024.
