Environment Agency inspection of Kirby Misperton A Wellsite, which includes the KM8 fracking well. Extract:
On site inspection, the temporary bunding was not secure and would not contain the chemicals in event of a spill. There was no evidence of a spill or environmental pollution but the agreed management system had not been followed appropriately and the containment was in a poor state.
