0031053836 2007-07-30 Surface Facility Construction No Violations An inspection was conducted on 7/30/2007 with Mr. Doug Kitchen and Mr. Ron McBride. During the inspection, it was noted that the dike height along the far end of the constructed dike has not been addressed. This issue was brought to Mr. Kitchens attention. It was also noted that the 30mm liner has not been installed. Mr. Kitchen also states that they would like to build the unloading pad in a different location and utilize different size tanks. He was instructed to reflect these changes on his design and submit this information to Mr. Tom Tomastik. Mr. Kitchen was again informed that this site would require fence placed around the facility, and a plastic tank (vault) will not be allowed. He was instructed to use a concrete vault that is coated. More work will be needed to complete the construction of this facility.
0040479472 2010-03-12 Enhanced Recovery Project No Violations A follow-up inspection to NOV and Compliance Agreement Schedule revealed that the previously noted violations have now been resolved. During the inspection, it was noted that oil exists inside the earthen dike at the storage tank location. Old and fresh oil on surface of water throughout dike. Old pads were observed on one end of the dike and will need replaced. The source of release is from the overflow of storage tank. Oil stains were observed from top of tank to ground surface, in dike, on two separate ends. A plug will be recommended for open PVC drain at the unloading pad to prevent overflow of concrete vault. Note: PVC routed from drain to concrete vault. Remedial Restoration will be recommended for the Spring, due to erosion at well location and along lease road. At 10:48 am, the well owner, Doug Kitchen, was notified on location, by telephone of inspect results and deficiency with non-related well. Mr. Kitchen states Ron McBride will cleanup P&C this weekend; agreed that Remedial Restoration work needed and will apply seed. He was instructed to perform work when the weather drys, but before June. Mr. Kitchen agreed that a plug for PVC drain is a good idea.
