Comments

Price varies with total dissolved solids. Facility recovers oil.

NA

Nonhazardous solids are farmed out.

Facility declined to be listed by name. Facility uses a series of ponds in the course of forced evaporation, including settling and air sparge modules. Facility works with an out-of-state 

laboratory. Lab analysis fee covered by overall disposal fee. Any remaining solids land farmed and used for road construction.

NA

For produced water treatment, oil is skimmed off prior to evaporation.

Produced water is evaporated in a pond.

Solids are mixed with soils and placed at locations that do not have storm water runoffs. Facility offers two types of trucks. The Bobtail is available for $80/hr, the 130‐bbl capacity truck 

is available for $95/hr. Produced water is force evaporated in a pond that has a polyethylene liner. The facility offers two types of trucks. The Bobtail is available for $80/hr, the 130-bbl 

capacity truck is available for $95/hr.

Treatment prior to actual land farming involves bacteria and blending with dirt. Major waste streams are muds and cuttings and produced water. Aeration process uses a sprinkler.

Facility handles produced water only. Predecessor used to manage muds and cuttings and soils. Disposal fee is $98 per load (80-bbl tank).

Facility can conduct laboratory analyses. This depends on the generator.

Facility is in the process of building a plant for reuse.

Transportation costs are charged by the hour or by the mile, depending on the distance. The hourly charge is for an 80-bbl truck.

Technology is spray evaporation. Fees range considerably on a case-by-case basis. It depends on the “heaviness” of the waste stream. The figure indicated represents the very minimum.

Treatment involves freeze-thaw. Produced water is air-sprayed in the winter. Ice pads form, and heavier brine collects at the bottom. The brine is injected. After melting, the freshwater is 

tested and land-applied.

NA

The choice of disposal method (landspreading or landfill) is made by each generator. Depending on the liquid state of the waste stream, dewatering may be required. For recycling of tank 

bottoms, facility operates a centrifuge to facilitate reclamation.

Wetter waste streams incur a higher deposal fee, since they need to be run through a blending facility.

Cost estimates represent the minimum. Major waste streams are muds and cuttings and tank bottoms. Water is evaporated, then the remaining materials are mixed with dirt and 

remediated.

Cheaper rate applies in-county. Facility uses evaporation ponds for production water.
