The incident involves an ongoing discharge of crude oil into Boyd’s Creek and the Barren River Lake which is a navigable waterway. This ongoing removal action was continued under an Interagency Agreement between EPA Region 4 and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Funding was obtained under the OSC’s OPA authority and through support from the National Pollution Fund Center in December, 2008.

This report summarizes the operations and maintenance (O&M) activities Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) performed for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Boyds Creek crude oil recovery project located in Glasgow, Kentucky. This report covers the 14-month monitoring period of December 19, 2012 through February 3rd, 2014. The funding for the project is through an Interagency Agreement (IAG) DW-64-92319301-0 between TVA and EPA.
TVA performed basic O&M activities at the Boyds Creek facility during (7) site visits conducted throughout the 14-month period. Following the upgrade of the monitoring system in 2012 the frequency of site visits has been reduced due to the new system’s reliability. Site operating conditions were normal with no system upsets (oil release) being observed during the monitoring period. Approximately 3,330 gallons of oil were collected during the monitoring period, with the largest amount (2300 gallons) being collected during the January 30th, 2014 site visit.
