VIOLATIONS: The Respondent's oil field facility was a point source discharge of pollutants, specifically produced water, to the receiving waters of a tributary of Rock Creek, located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 34, Township 16 North, Range 9 East, Creek County, Oklahoma. An April 19, 2005 EPA inspection documented the discharge of brine from the facility to the tributary.
RELIEF: The Order specifies that the Respondent shall immediately cease all discharges from the facility and to remove two feet of contaminated lake water; add fresh water in place of the contaminated water; and keep the lake full by adding fresh water during the 2005 summer months. A follow-up inspection will determine the extent of compliance with the Order. Technical Contact: Matt Rudolph 5-6434; Jerry Saunders 5-6470
