Gina Saizan- Observations included an estimated 3-5 bbls of oil had been released to the ground and into an ephemeral stream in Negreet, LA, which leads to Toledo Bend Lake. A local land owner initially reported this incident because his cattle, which drink water from the impacted ephemeral stream, are getting sick and dying.

Approximately one-half roll off box of woody and organic material saturated with oil needs to be collected. Approximately 10 locations along the half mile creek have the saturated oil sorbent pads and pompoms that need to be recovered.

Habitat Impacts include approximately 17 (15-20 inch plus diameter) trees dead in stream and another approximately 50 smaller diameter trees dead within 10 feet of stream on both left or right descending bank. Oil stain observed on all trees within the identified area.

Notable is the significant risk this incident has to the health and well being of a third party cattle heard as well as the wildlife in the area evident from the activity observed along the stream.

Also of concern is the conditions at the English Oil facility (potential RP) across the highway from Blue Runner Oil Company (potential RP). English Oil has black oil in and out of secondary containment that needs to cleanup and nearby wildlife activity.
