| General Comments: |
Oily fluids attract insects, insects attract songbirds, dehydrator tanks and tubs containing oil, produced water, or other harmful chemicals are a death trap for songbirds and thus should be properly covered to prevent access. Dehydrator tanks and tubs have caused mortality of hundreds of songbirds. |
