SPICER WIRELINE SERVICES UNIT # 4 DATE: NARRATION BY: 4-4-95 Updated as required Dan Starkey ~, Kern County Environmental Health CONTACTS: Greg Dufresne Baker Hughes, Repair & Maintenance Charles R. Kennedy Baker Hughes, 'ASP, Health & Safety Specialist RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Spicer Wireline Services P.O. Box 41046 Bakersfield, CA 93384 Unit # 4, and SE Storage Area Owner, Bobby Spicer PROPERTY OWNER: Andre Family Trust - PH # 871-5659 Spicer Wireline Yard Baker Hughes - Baker Hughes Facility Narration: I met Dufresne and Kennedy at the Baker Hughes (BH) facility at 10:00 am on 4-4-95. We went to the southwest corner of the BH property where we observed evidence that Spicer Wireline Service (SWS) had been dumping oil along the fence line. SWS had also been steam cleaning oilfield equipment which caused crude oil to be blown onto BH equipment and property. BH also stated that this activity is done after work and on the weekends. BH stated that we could come on their property if needed to continue the investigation and we could use the BH name as the complaining party. I gave BH my business card and after hours phone number and ask them to notify us when this activity occurred again. I took photos of the waste on BH property and also photos of the SWS yard. There was fresh oil stains on the asphalt, an open waste oil container next to the fence, and a steam cleaner parked in the yard. There was no one was at SWS unit # 4, or in the yard. I left the BH facility at 10:45 am and drove next door to the property in question. I spoke with a few tenants who stated that SWS cleans their vehicles in the yard and water and oil run down the gutter. These tenants also stated that they do these activities after 5:00 pm and on the weekends. I informed BH to notify this Department the next time SWS is steam cleaning equipment. On 5-10-95 I received a phone call from Dufresne who stated that Spicer Wireline Service was in the process of steam cleaning their oilfield equipment. I arrived at the site and discovered an employee in the process of steam cleaning equipment. I informed him that it was illegal to run contaminated water down the gutter. He stated that he knew it was not right. He phoned the owner who arrived within a few minutes. Bobby Spicer the owner and I inspected the yard as I explained the violations observed. I issued an NOV regarding the violations and explained our Department's desire to obtain voluntary compliance. Spicer stated that there would not be any more cleaning of oilfield equipment at the yard. I informed him that he would only be billed for my time if he complied. I photographed the site and left the facility. I phoned Dufresne with Baker Hughes and informed him of the out come of the inspection. I ask him to notify me if the contamination was not cleaned up. On 6-1-95 I received a phone call and fax from Dufresne stating that he had not had any contact with the wireline company and that the clean up was not complete. I phoned Bobby Spicer and ask if he had removed the contaminated soil from BH property. He stated that his crew had taken care of that problem. He stated that he had not inspected the site. I ask him to contact Dufresne personally and settle the issue. On 6-7-95 I spoke with Dave Naugle with BH. He stated that to his knowledge the waste oil spills had not been cleaned up and Dufresne had not been contacted by Spicer. I informed Naugle that I would reinspect the site and then contact Spicer. I arrived at the BH facility at 1:30 p.m. and contacted Naugle. He gave me permission to enter BH property and inspect the locations were the waste oil had been spilled. The waste was still in the areas and had not been cleaned up. It appeared that Spicer had placed dirt on the spills from their side of the fence. Waste oil had not been placed into a closed container. I drove to the Spicer office and placed the second Notice Of Violation into the mail slot regarding the waste oil spills and container. No one was present at the office. (See N.O.V. attached). Spicer was given until 6-12-95 to comply with the N.O.V. On 6-12-95 I received a call from Spicer regarding the NOV and sampling of the oil on BH property. He made arrangements to have BC Labs take samples on 6-13-95 at 9:00 a.m. I met Spicer and Mike Graham of BC labs at the BH site. Two samples were taken of the oil contaminated soil. The first sample from location % i and the second from locations % 2, 3 as designated on the following drawing. The samples are to be analyzed for C~m 22 Metals and %18.1 TPH Oil and Grease. Sampling was complete at 9=30 a.m. I received a copy of the analytical results on 6-29-95. I phoned and advised Dufresne that the contaminated soil is not hazardous and that I advised Spicer he needed to contact Dufresne to arrange for the cleanup. On 10-31-95 I received a phone call from Dufresne. He stated that Spicer had removed the contaminated soil from along the west fence line and requested that I inspect the site. I arrived at the site at approximately 2:00 p.m. The contaminated soil was removed and three depressions were present. Manney with Baker Hughes walked over and ask if the work was adequate. I informed Manney that the cleanup was complete and that this Department was satisfied that the contamination had been removed. I ask Manney to relay that message to Dufresne and stated that I would send a copy of my report when complete. I contacted Spicer and he informed me that the soil removed from BH was recycled and used as road base on the Chevron Lost Hills Lease. Because the soil was classified as non- hazardous the manifest requirements for transportation did not apply. Complaint closed.

This is regarding clean.up you told me he would be responsible for. The offending business was California Wireline Service. I need your assistance in moving this off center and getting the contamination PROPERLY re. moved from BHI property. BH! will accept only a certified clean-up and disposal by CWS. BHI spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on environmental issues to keep our properties in line at over 250 facilities world wide. I will not have a company that has so bJatentty violated EPA issues contaminate a property that we make every effort to keep environmentally clean. Additionally, I need the report you wrote on this incident you'd said I would receive. To date, have nothing from Kern County on this. I need this for my files and follow-up. Your timely attention to this matter is appreciated. Please contact me for any further details. Thank-you. Gr~g Dufres~, BHI West Coast HSE Co-Ordinator cc: Jim Van Hoozen cwscln STEVE McCAt.
