Box 928 <br />Meeker, CO. 81641 <br />Subject: Submittal of Undesirable Event Report <br />Dear Mr. Mehlhoff: <br />inclosed please find Report of Undesirable Event regarding pipeline separation <br />on Juste 25, 1996. The pipeline is utilized to direct water from waste water <br />pond to facilities (heat exchanger) and through 6" surface pipe back to the waste <br />pond. In approximately six minutes, the system was shut down. The 199 <br />concrete pad contained the majority of the spill and directed the water to the <br />tank farm. Approximately 5000 gallons of water washed outside the pad, but <br />was limited to the disturbed plant area (approximately I/10 of an acre in size. <br />After the soil dries, if there is noticeable surface contaminated material, material <br />will be disposed in the approved lined pit. The pipeline flange was replaced and <br />operators will be reminded to be alert for leaks and spills. <br />If there are any questions please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~t~~~~- <br />Ed Baker <br />cc: Colorado Divbsion of Geobgy and Minerals w/ report <br />Creq ~z~-c~i~ <br />~~ White Rlver Nahcolite Minerals, Limited Llabil lty Company <br />\ P.
