A huge oak tree that the Opiela family estimates is more than 150 years old stands in danger near the site of a feeder line rupture and spill of contaminants from oilfield production.
Like a thick coat of orange slime, waste fluids from an area oil well production coat a dry creek bed on property owned by Adrian Opiela, Jr. A feeder line carrying the fluids from a well to a disposal facility ruptured on the property located about 8 miles north of Karnes City, contaminating a large area of the property and filling a large stock pond with waste fluids. Opiela is worried the spill may kill several large oak trees that have been on the property for more than 150 years.
