EPA v. EAGLE ONE OIL

Case summary

On July 12, 2011, EPA Region 6 issued a Proposed Administrative Order (AO) under our authority pursuant to Section 1421 of the Safe Drinking Water Act to Eagle One Oil located in Shidler, Oklahoma. The AO was issued in response to violations of: 1) Failure to plug an injection well within one year after termination of injection operations; and 2) Maintaining the well in a manner which could allow contaminated fluids to move through the well bore into underground sources of drinking water. The AO requires Eagle One Oil to either 1) Plug the well according to EPA regulations or 2) provide a plan for future use and complete corrective actions to prevent contamination of drinking water sources through the well bore. Eagle One Oil must respond to EPA Region 6 within 30 days after the effective date of a final Order. For more information, see documents below.
