Section I - INTRODUCTION
PE Osage/ Breene Unit (CWA) Inspection Date 06/09/2022
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION
EPA Region 6 inspectors Carl Wills and Matthew Allen arrived at the PE Osage, LLC, Breene Unit (EPA ID No. OKU000875), at 1:30 PM on 06/09/2022 for an unannounced inspection. Carl Wills was the lead inspector for the inspection. There was no company representative present at the inspection. The inspection was conducted by the authority of the Clean Water Act to determine compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. There was no other Federal, State or Local agency present at the time of the inspection.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
EPA conducted a follow-up inspection on the PE-Osage, Breene Unit. The Breene Unit was located approximately 11.5 miles southwest of Skiatook, Oklahoma, in Osage County.
Section II - OBSERVATIONS
I observed the Breene Unit tank battery and sign, this was documented in Appendix 1/Photo Log, photo No. 1. I observed the secondary containment pit inside the Breene Unit tank battery berm, which was full of water at the time of the inspection. The secondary containment pit was documented in photo No. 2. On the south side of the southernmost secondary containment berm of the Breene Unit tank battery, I observed water leaking through the berm and flowing downgradient to the south, this was documented in photo No. 3. I observed the water as it continued south along the flowpath. I observed the impacted land/soil along the flowpath and estimated approximately 80 percent of the impacted area had fully recovered with vegetation.
Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN
EPA Region 6 inspectors observed water leaking through the secondary containment berm which could allow recurrence of the spill event as the primary area of concern. The secondary containment pit should be emptied, and the secondary containment berm should be repaired to prevent fluid migration through the berm. I also observed moderate soil erosion along the flowpath where brine impacts prevented revegetation, this area of soil erosion should be corrected to prevent additional erosion.
Section IV - FOLLOW UP
No additional information was received by EPA after exiting the Facility on 06/09/2022.
