Emergency Hydrocarbon Release Response & Remediation — Interstate Right-of-Way, I-40 Corridor near Gallup, New Mexico
400Cubic Yards Removed
369Man-Hours · 8 Field Days
5 / 5Confirmation Samples Pass
0Safety Incidents
Scope: Diesel release onto the I-40 corridor near Gallup. Product left the highway surface, entered a stormwater culvert, and migrated roughly 292 linear feet downgradient along a drainage corridor. DEKON ran the full response: surface treatment and culvert flush, progressive excavation of 400 cubic yards of hydrocarbon-impacted soil to 20-yard end dumps, manifested transport to a permitted petroleum-impacted soil treatment facility, five-point confirmation sampling along the migration path, backfill to two agency specifications, and revegetation of the disturbed ground. An engineer-stamped Traffic Control Plan held eastbound lane and shoulder closures for the duration. Eight field days, April 20 – May 5, 2026, crews of four to five. All five confirmation samples came in below the 100 mg/kg TPH-DRO action level — highest result 81.2 mg/kg; VOCs, BTEX, MTBE and gasoline range organics non-detect in every sample. Zero safety incidents, zero injuries, zero secondary releases. Client name withheld for procurement neutrality — full reference and closeout package available to qualified prospects on request.
Three jurisdictions, one release. Travel lanes under NMDOT, drainage corridor through City of Gallup right-of-way, and the release itself reportable to the New Mexico Environment Department. DEKON pulled right-of-way permits from NMDOT District 6 and the City of Gallup before mobilizing, filed daily NMED field reports for every working day plus a consolidated final field activity report, and backfilled the cavity with 50 tons of NMDOT-spec and 350 tons of City of Gallup-spec material because it crossed the jurisdiction line.

Named Past Performance · DEKON Contract · Job 26-040
Scope: Diesel release along a curb line at a commercial facility, product moving toward a drainage path. DEKON had a crew on site and working the same afternoon the call came in. Absorbent boom and socks down first to stop migration, then mechanical and hand recovery of impacted soil to a 5-yard dump trailer, then heated pressure-wash with a caustic citrus degreaser to lift residual staining off the curb and pavement. Wash water was segregated into three 55-gallon open-top steel drums. Crew worked past 4:00 PM into overtime on day one rather than leave product down overnight, returned the following day for decontamination, and manifested 5 cubic yards of soil plus the drummed water to a permitted facility. Ran entirely on DEKON crew and DEKON-owned equipment — no subcontractor mobilization to wait on. Read the full case study →
What Happens When You Call
DEKON’s Response Sequence
Containment first. Recovery second. The file gets built the whole way through.
Dispatch, not a quote. The first call establishes what released, how much, where it is heading, and whether it has reached a drain, a culvert, or a waterway. Crew and equipment roll while the scope is still being written. Mobilization comes out of the Farmington yard on DEKON trucks.
Containment before recovery. Boom, socks, and absorbent go down to stop migration first. Product that reaches a stormwater conveyance turns a one-day cleanup into a multi-week remediation with a regulator attached — that is the difference the first hour decides.
Recovery and excavation. Free product and saturated material recovered mechanically and by hand. On soil releases, progressive excavation with clean overburden segregated from impacted volume, because mixing clean soil into the regulated stream is how disposal cost runs away.
Surfaces and infrastructure. Hardscape treated and heat-washed. Culverts and conveyance flushed and treated where product has entered them. Wash water is captured and drummed, not chased downstream.
Waste segregation and manifested disposal. Streams separated at the source — impacted soil, contaminated water, absorbent debris — containerized, manifested, and hauled under DEKON’s own DOT authority to a permitted facility.
Confirmation sampling. Samples collected under chain of custody and analyzed by a TNI-accredited laboratory, in a pattern that answers the question the regulator will actually ask — along the migration path when product has traveled, not just a cavity grid.
Restoration. Backfill to agency specification, regrade to finish, and revegetation where ground was disturbed — native seed, weed-free straw, crimped in.
The documentation package. Daily field work orders, JSA, bills of lading, waste manifests, chain of custody, laboratory data, photo record, and agency field reports. That file is what closes the event out.

Writing or Revising a Facility Response Plan?
The question is not “are you available.” It is “show me your training matrix, your equipment list, and your last job file.”
If you operate production, gathering, processing, or storage assets in the San Juan Basin, your FRP names somebody. We have written up what OSRO classification under 33 CFR 154 Subpart J actually requires, the training stack behind a real response crew, and where operators should push back when vetting a response contractor.

Coverage Area
Dispatched from Farmington, New Mexico. DEKON responds across the Four Corners region and the San Juan Basin — northwest New Mexico, southwest Colorado, northeast Arizona, and southeast Utah — including Navajo Nation trust and allotted land, where Navajo Nation EPA, BIA, and allottee landowner coordination is handled as routine rather than discovered mid-response. Documented response work includes the I-40 corridor near Gallup, San Juan County, and southwest Colorado.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can DEKON get to a spill?
DEKON dispatches from its Farmington yard with its own crew trucks, skid steer, dump trailer, vacuum and wash equipment, and containment stock — so mobilization is a dispatch decision, not a wait on rental or subcontractor availability. On a June 2026 diesel release in Ignacio, Colorado, the crew was on site and working the same afternoon the call came in, and worked into the evening rather than leave product down overnight. Call 505-543-8083; the line is answered 24/7.
What kinds of releases does DEKON respond to?
Hydrocarbon releases — diesel, crude, produced water, lube and hydraulic oil — from tankers, tanks, pipelines, gathering systems, and equipment failures. Work has covered highway and interstate right-of-way releases, commercial and industrial yards, production and gathering facilities, and releases that reach stormwater conveyance or drainage corridors.
Does DEKON handle the regulatory reporting, or just the cleanup?
Both. On a 2026 interstate release near Gallup, DEKON filed daily field reports to the New Mexico Environment Department for every working day of the response, plus a consolidated final field activity report, and pulled right-of-way permits from NMDOT District 6 and the City of Gallup before mobilizing. Waste manifests, bills of lading, chain of custody, and the laboratory data package are part of the deliverable, not an add-on.
Can DEKON do the confirmation sampling too?
Yes. Confirmation samples are collected under chain of custody and submitted to a TNI-accredited laboratory. On the Gallup release, DEKON laid the five-point series out along the documented migration path rather than as a conventional cavity grid, because the question the regulator was going to ask was whether the runoff corridor was clean. All five samples came back below the 100 mg/kg TPH-DRO action level.
Does DEKON respond on Navajo Nation and tribal lands?
Yes. A meaningful share of DEKON's work is performed on Navajo Nation trust and allotted land, and the additional coordination layer — Navajo Nation EPA, BIA, and allottee landowner involvement — is handled as routine. Gross receipts tax treatment on trust land is applied and documented correctly rather than guessed at.
What credentials does DEKON hold for spill work?
NM License #417265 (GB-98 / GS-29), EPA ID NMR00032243, PHMSA 072383550040H, DOT #4411852 and MC #733232 for transport of recovered product, 40-hour HAZWOPER with current annual refreshers for all field personnel, and active SAM.gov registration (CAGE 1A8J1, UEI NARD6L7LPW3) for federal and tribal contracting.
Does DEKON restore the site after the cleanup?
Yes — backfill to agency specification, regrade, and revegetation. On the Gallup release the cavity was backfilled with 50 tons of NMDOT-spec and 350 tons of City of Gallup-spec material because it crossed a jurisdiction line, topped with 25 tons of topsoil, then roughly 1.5 acres were reseeded with a native mix, mulched with certified weed-free straw, and mechanically crimped to hold in wind.
