Petroleum Surface Spills
Petroleum Surface Spills
Spills of petroleum (fuels, mineral oil, and other petroleum products) to the land surface or to surface water are subject to reporting and cleanup requirements of Title 126 - Rules and Regulations Pertaining to the Management of Wastes. Regulatory oversight of surface spills of petroleum is carried out by NDEE’s Petroleum Remediation Section. Persons who spill reportable quantities of petroleum should report the spill immediately to NDEE.
On-call Personnel
NDEE has on-call personnel available 24 hours a day to provide technical and regulatory assistance.
Actions
The person who spilled the petroleum should clean up the spill as soon as possible and submit a Final Report to NDEE within 15 days. If the spill cannot be cleaned up within 15 days, the person who spilled the petroleum should submit an Interim Report to describe the status of the cleanup and to provide an estimated date the cleanup will be complete.
