The Department of Environmental Protection is investigating the leak of nearly 30 gallons of oil today that flowed into Bray Mill Creek near Jay.

Officials at Quantum Resource Management reported the oil leak — which has been contained — came from a flow line fed by three wells in Jay. A DEP site investigator arrived within an hour of the incident's report.

DEP technical staff will make a full investigation to identify what caused the breach and soil testing to ensure safety for area residents.

“DEP is working to determine what went wrong and hold Quantum Resource Management accountable for any impacts to the environment resulting from this leak," said Cliff Wilson, DEP interim secretary. "We are assessing the potential of any possible threat to the environment and the public right now and we will monitor the site to verify our water resources are safe."

Company officials reported all oil flow has been stopped to the flow line until repairs can be completed. The well operator immediately stopped the leak and dispatched a response team to contain, collect and properly dispose of the leaking fluid, company officials said.

No workers were injured during the leak and no evacuations were necessary, according to officials. All wells feeding the flow line have been shut in and the flow line is depressurized until repairs can be made and DEP inspections are complete.
