EPR Compliance Assessment Report states:
The discharge occurred on the 2nd March at the time of this inspection was caused by an escape of surface water from the well pad that contained silt. The silt overwhelmed a low bund around the well pad and escaped into a header drain that collects surface water. A bag filter and straw bales had been used to treat surface water containing silt before discharging to a field drain.
