ACME in Action: Northern Oklahoma Oil Spill
On June 2nd, 2023, ACME Environmental responded to an oil spill that had severely impacted a creek and several surrounding properties in Northern Oklahoma. The spill originated from an area upstream of Nine mile-creek, where oil-contaminated soil was being dumped at a dump site by an environmental waste disposal company. Due to a high amount of heavy rainfall in the area, the weight of the contaminated soil, approximating 3,000 barrels, caused the barriers in place at this facility to fail. This ended in the integrity of the barriers becoming weakened, causing the sides to blow out. Consequently, the waste traveled downstream roughly six miles, impacting three properties off-site of the dump site, impacting farmlands near houses, destroying culverts, and damaging roads along the creek. In conclusion, this required comprehensive remediation efforts due to environmental and regulatory concerns.
