Dominion Energy takes environmental compliance very seriously and immediately notified the Division of Water Resources, Raleigh Regional Office upon discovery of this hydraulic oil spill, and took immediate action to remedy this issue. The discharge information and corrective actions are as follows: 11/8/2018 (Incident No. 201803324) —Spread 8 —During the placement of a timber mat travel lane through delineated wetland WHLH02 in, apiece of equipment developed a leak on a hydraulic fitting, resulting in an approximate 1 quart release of hydraulic oil within the delineated wetland. Most of the fluid was released onto the timber mat travel lane; however some hydraulic fluid was sprayed within the inundated wetland surface water creating a sheen on top of the water. Upon discovery, the equipment was removed from the wetland, a spill kit was deployed for containment (boom and absorbent diapers), and was left in place until all fluid was absorbed and no sheen was present. To prevent any further release, the equipment was removed from service until proper repairs were made. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact Ryan Mason at (804)-346-6234 or via email at Ryan.Mason cnie,dominionenergy.com.
