001 Farmland Industries informed the OSEI Corporation that, they had an oil spill covering approximately one mile..jpg

002 The U.S. EPA Regional Response Team VI approved the use of OSEII to be applied to this U.S. Navigable water spill..jpg

003 A U.S. EPA contractor official met with OSEI Corporation officials to determine how much OSE II would be needed.jpg

004 OSEI personel along with Michael Yyuan from Taiwan, and Mr. Tree from China extracted samples for initial test evaluation.jpg

005 Mr. Yyann wore a mask due to the hydrocarbon smell.jpg

006 The spill came from a rupture in the pipeline running over the creek behind the two visitors.jpg

007 Rocks were turned over to see how much oil absorbed under the rocks along creek.jpg

008 Booms were placed across the creek at the end of the spill contaminated area to trap free floating oil being mobilized off the rocks and soil.jpg

009 A large water tank was brought in to mix OSE II with.jpg

010 Water was extracted out of a well to fill the water tank..jpg

011 The water tank then had OSE II mixed in it..jpg

012 The same pumper system that filled the water tank was used to apply OSE II once the water was mixed in the tank..jpg

013 Drums of OSE II were staged in several areas along the spill area.jpg

014 Farmland Industries personel applying OSE II mixed with water to the spill.jpg

015 Farmland personel applying OSE II to the entire spill area.jpg

016 OSE II was applied up to and just past the pipeline where the break occured.jpg

017 OSE II was applied was applied first at the highest point and then application continued until the lowest point of the oil spill was reached..jpg

018 OSE II was applied with some pressure to the rocks.jpg

019 OSE II was applied with very little pressure to the oiled soil area's.jpg

020 within 20 minutes the oil started lifting and mobilizing from the rocks and soil.jpg

021 The initial oil TPH was 41,000 ppm of heavy oil and the diesel TPH was 11,000 ppm initially.jpg

022 The diesel TPH was ND non detect after the 30 day testing was performed and the heavy hydrocarbons was down to 39,000 ppm, however in 90 days the h.jpg
