The Department of Environmental Protection is monitoring cleanup efforts after a spill at a Doddridge County well-site. Hall Drilling has leaked close to 30 barrels of brine water containing oil residue. The leak happened on England’s run, with the brine and residue flowing into a nearby creek.
 
 The liquid was not frack fluid from a horizontal Marcellus well, State
Division of Environmental Protection spokeswoman Kathy Cosco said.
The spill was reported on the DEP tip line Sunday evening, she said. “It’s salty brine water with some oil residue that got into the stream,” Cosco said. “The produced water came from a shallow formation well.”

A DEP inspector was on site to monitor the clean up and no notices of violation have been issued at this point, Cosco said.
