VIOLATIONS: The Respondent's oil field facility was a point source discharge of pollutants, specifically oil field brine (produced water), to the receiving waters of a tributary of the Rough Creek, located in Wichita County, Texas. The discharge of brine was documented during a February 28, 2006, inspection.
RELIEF: The Class I Complaint proposes up to a $32,500 penalty for the violations. An environmental restoration and protection SEP has been negotiated with Kincaid Etal and the Consent Agreement and Final Order contains the details of the project. The amount of the SEP must be at least $5,511, and the final cash penalty required is $1,250.
