[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3315006, member: 5412"] The Dallas office of the EPA told me they didn’t have jurisdiction after multiple phone calls and pics sent via text to their office. The US coast Guard also told me that the issue was on tribal property and they couldn’t help because they only regulate spills on navigable waterways. When I sent them pics of crude oil running into a creek that lead to the Arkansas River 1/2 mile away, I was told it was on the Osage tribe side and they couldn’t help. When I contacted the BIA environmental office for Osage county, they came out, looked at the spill and left. The next day a crew with absorbent came out and only worked on the spill around the tank battery that did not have a liner nor a containment berm big enough to contain a spill of that volume. The clumps of crude on my land and two other neighbors land was not touched. Utility poles, fences, posts, and trees still have crude on them to this day. Nothing was cleaned up. Repeated calls to the BIA environmental office do not get returned. Oklahoma Attorneys representing the DEQ don’t have glowing things to say about the Osage environmental track record. If you have any inside information about how this situation could be relieved, I’m more than willing to listen. 8 months of living with bottled water sucks. [/QUOTE]
