Investigation Comment:
On June 25, 2021, I contacted Lance Thomasson, Delek Environmental Manager, and Mitch Colvin, Delek Environmental Specialist, to report the complaint to them. This complaint referenced a dumping of materials into Bayou De Loutre on February 14, 2021. Mr. Thomasson and Mr. Colvin were not aware of any release of crude oil or other materials on that date. Additionally, we had no other public reports of oil or other materials in Bayou De Loutre on or following February 14, 2021.
