Problems/Comments

Prior to reporting a 75-gallon diesel spill a portion of the impacted gravel was transferred to a nearby production well cellar. 100 cubic yards of DRO contaminated gravel was removed to a liner. Further removal/cleanup is needed at both sites. Failure to immediately report the spill and efforts to conceal it have been addressed by PERP and BPX.
