Section I - INTRODUCTION
Diamond 3S, LLC / Kennedy Lease Inspection Date: 04/17/2018
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION EPA Region 6 inspector K.W. Sanborn visited the Diamond 3S, LLC oil and gas facility located at the latitude 36.586969 N and longitude -96.498093 W near Pawhuska, Oklahoma on 04/17/2018 for an unannounced inspection. No representatives of Diamond 3S, LLC were present for the inspection. The inspection was conducted by authority of the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act to determine compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION The inspection was at the Kennedy Lease area where a previous brine discharge occurred at injection well 3.
Section II - OBSERVATIONS During the inspection, I checked Kennedy No. 3 injection well near the previous discharge point. The operator was injecting contaminated creek water into the well at 500 psi with a hose that appeared to be weak. The electric fence around the contaminated area was down. I observed one truckload of brine pumped from the tributary near the point of entry. There were no other remedial activities at the time of the inspection. I observed elevated levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the tributary of Daniel's Run Creek with a calibrated YSI 30 Pro Conductivity Meter.
Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN I observed elevated levels of TDS in the creek. These levels continue to be ongoing since the first discharge was identified. There continues to be discharges from the contaminated soil during wet weather events.
Section IV - FOLLOW UP Conduct a follow up inspection as needed.
