A production fluid spill was discovered at the Cummings C gas well site at approximately 9:00 AM on 10/20/11. The spill occurred due to a failed weld in a line transporting fluids. The operator of the site, Williams Production, reported the spill to the Town of Flower Mound and the Texas Railroad Commission (TRCC), and immediately began cleanup activities. The Town and the TRCC responded to the site and the required TRCC forms are in the process of being submitted. Williams estimated that approximately 450 barrels were spilled, 371 were recovered immediately after the spill. Impacted soils are required to be removed from the area. There was no surface water impacted from the spill. Cleanup at the site is being monitored, and a complete incident report is required to be submitted to the Town of Flower Mound within 30 days.
