Problems/Comments

Underground pipe failure released 725 gallons of ethylene glycol to soils. A limited excavation was conducted, contamination remains beneath structures. Prevention and Emergency Response Program (PERP) Spill Number 01309926001. PERP File Number 100.02.036. PERP Spill Date 9/17/2001. This site entry describes a release that occurred during the time that Williams operated what is now referred to as the Flint Hills North Pole Refinery Hazard ID# 539. Flint Hills took possession of the refinery in 2004 and has conducted further site characterization and cleanup efforts since that time. A comprehensive onsite cleanup plan for the refinery was approved in October 2014. That cleanup effort includes continued product recovery, operation of a groundwater pump and treat system, limited contaminated soil removal in accessible areas and protection of site workers from vapor intrusion to indoor air. The cleanup effort is currently ongoing as of Fall 2015 and is anticipated to take many years to complete.
