Evan Madden (Project Manager with Environmental Works) estimates approximately 20 acres of farmland on von Forell Ranch have been impacted by crude oil from the irrigation turnout and pivot system. He characterizes the contamination as surface pools and oiled grasses, but suspects limited subsurface penetration. Mr. Madden doesn’t mince words, saying it’s quite a mess, and extensive remediation will be necessary. This is a Drill!
