On July 20 and November 15, 2016, an EPA inspector observed that pollutants, specifically oil field brine and produced wastewater generated from oil and gas production activities, had been discharged from the facility to waters of the United States. Pollutants were discharged to a tributary of Sandies Creek. The inspector determined that the water located at the discharge point of entry into the tributary of Sandies Creek was contaminated from brine discharges.
