Corrective Action:
On January 31, 2023, SMG Enviro responded to the incident. SMG personnel indicated
that the unit lost its oil pan into a swamp area. SMG estimates approximately 15-gallons
of oil was released. Due to the depth of the water, a water vessel was utilized to apply
absorbent booms around the sheen. The water in the swamp is not moving which allowed
SMG personnel to utilize a vac truck to collect some of oil impacted water.

On February 1, 2023, SMG personnel continued to collect the oil from the water utilizing
booms and a vacuum truck.

On February 2, 2023, SMG personnel returned to the site several times to check the
booms left in place due to the amount of rainfall throughout the day.

On February 7, 2023, SMR personnel returned to the site to skim some of the sheen off
the water. SMR personnel generated a total of 105-gallons of wastewater for disposal.

Waste Disposition:
On March 2, 2023, SMR personnel transported the wastewater to SR & R Environmental
in Wilmington, NC for proper disposal. Please see Appendix 1 (Disposal
Documentation).

Conclusion:
No further evidence suggests that any environmental impact remains following the
emergency response and corrective action taken in response to this incident. TSS
recommends that this incident be considered closed.
