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 |
