Deborah King, Federal On‑Scene Coordinator (FOSC) for EPA Region 8, submits a Notice of Federal Interest (NOFI) to HF Sinclair Midstream regarding yesterday’s oil release on Chugwater Creek. She explains that the NOFI formally establishes EPA’s role in overseeing the response as the lead federal agency, but emphasizes this is a procedural step only - the EPA is not federalizing the incident. This is a Drill!
