| General Comments: |
Exposed oil in an oil and gas facility has the potential to attract birds and other wildlife. Waterfowl and other aquatic birds may be attracted to open tanks used to store and separate oil from produced water. Pits and exposed oil can attract hawks, owls, and songbirds. Other wildlife can also be exposed to oil or other harmful chemicals at oil and gas facilities. |
