| General Comments: |
Pits collect rainfall and snowmelt. Pooled water and oil are a deathtrap for birds and wildlife. Reserve pits containing oil or oil-based products, such as oil-based drilling fluids, can entrap and kill migratory birds and other wildlife. Oil ingestion by birds or wildlife can lead to dehydration. Inhalation of oil vapors can cause pneumonia, neurological damage or anemia. |
