Evan Madden (Project Manager with Environmental Works) asks whether HFSM has submitted an application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeking authorization to decant recovered oil/water mixtures from vacuum trucks back into the designated spill impact area. His stated objective is to reduce secondary waste generation while improving overall oil recovery efficiency. If approved, he asks HFSM to provide clarification on the following operational parameters: (1) approved areas within the impact zone where decanting may occur, (2) sampling and analytical requirements, and (3) minimum settling/retention times to ensure adequate separation prior to decanting. This is a Drill!
