These spills represented only a \u201csubset\u201d of data from just two states- Colorado and Pennsylvania. National data about spills and information from other states was simply unavailable or of such poor quality as to be useless.\u00a0 Even worse, the spill data that was available didn\u2019t contain enough information to allow for meaningful analysis. EPA was only able to determine that the \u201ccause\u201d of the greatest volume of produced water spills was \u201cfailure of container integrity,\u201d which is a lot like saying that the cause of the spill was a spill. Nearly a third of hydraulic fracturing fluid spills had an unknown source.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spill Data at Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, some states have enacted comprehensive incident reporting rules that are improving oil and gas industry performance. The North Dakota Industrial Commission (NDIC) is an excellent example of a state oil and gas regulator collecting, analyzing and responding to issues identified in comprehensive spill and leak reports. In 2014, the NDIC lowered the spill reporting threshold for crude oi and produced water (brine) to one barrel (42 gallons) for all spills, contained and uncontained. This means that the NDIC now collects detailed information about a lot of spills, and although industry initially complained about this, it\u2019s starting to pay off.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the state found the overall spill rate dropped 27% from 2014 to 2015, which is great. But it also uncovered a less desirable trend; the number of contained spills (spills that occur within enclosed areas surrounded by berms or dykes) dropped from about 80% in 2014 to roughly 70% in 2015. The lower containment rate suggests that the current diking requirements may not be sufficient to contain spills. North Dakota regulators said they used this data to put better environmental protections in place that require 6-inch perimeter berms around new and existing well sites. According to the NDIC, the containment rate would have been closer to 98% if those rules had been in place earlier. This relationship between the circumstances on the ground and evolving, targeted regulations is really terrific.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio is another state that making progress.\u00a0 The Ohio Division of Oil and Gas Resource Management \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/oilandgas.ohiodnr.gov\/well-information\/emergency-response\">recently proposed new reporting<\/a> rules that are helpful for making sure that the impacts of spills and leaks from oil and gas operations are mitigated efficiently. Reporting requirements that include brine spills, a single hotline or contact to receive incident reports, standardized information collection expectations, and clearly defined triggering events are all helpful to make spill reporting fast and easy for operators or others managing a stressful incident. To make the proposed rules <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2016\/08\/EDF-Comments-on-Proposed-Incident-Response-Rules_8.26.16.pdf\">more helpful<\/a>, the agency could require reporting of root causes and lower their reporting threshold across the board and add reporting requirements for contained spills.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce oil and gas industry spills across the country, we need more comprehensive reporting rules that require operators to identify the root cause of the leak or spill, accurately characterize the amount and contents of substances released, and describe mitigation measures in detail until the impacts are abated. Only this type of spill reporting will provide the information necessary for meaningful analysis and regulation that reflects the real causes of leaks and spills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the oil and gas industry spills or leaks harmful fluids \u2013 whether toxic oil or chemical-laden wastewater \u2013 the damage to local ecosystems can last for decades.
