Emergency Response for Crude Oil Pipeline Release USA
Antea Group was asked to support the response to a pipeline spill of 20,600 barrels of crude oil in a wheat field in the Great Plains.
Project challenges included a remote location, the need for 24/7 operations through seasonal severe weather for multiple years, the need for immediate mitigation efforts coupled with a transition to a longer-term assessment and site remedy, multiple sub-surface water-bearing zones, and the need for treatment of over 1,200,000 tons of impacted soil through on-site treatment.
The overall project objective was to return the land to agricultural use and prevent any impacts from reaching the groundwater aquifer.
