The facility is located in the Williston Basin, a semi-arid region with cold winters and hot summers. Oil extraction activities in this area can impact local water resources, as large volumes of water are used for hydraulic fracturing. The region also faces risks of soil and groundwater contamination from spills or leaks. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state agencies aims to mitigate these risks through permitting and monitoring requirements.
