Re: 1960 Well Services LLC

Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to 1960 Well Services, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (the “Ohio Guarantor”), in connection with the public offering of up to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 9.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”) by Heckmann Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2012, among the Issuer, the Guarantors, as defined in said Indenture, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” and such indenture, the “Indenture”), which provides for the guarantee of the Exchange Notes by the Guarantors, including the Ohio Guarantor (the “Guarantees”), to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

We have not been involved in the preparation of the registration statement, nor were we involved in the negotiation, preparation or execution of the Indenture or Guarantees contained therein, or any of the related agreements executed or delivered in connection with the Exchange Notes. We have been retained solely for the purpose of rendering a single opinion pursuant to Ohio law with respect to the Ohio Guarantor and have not represented it in any other instance related to Exchange Notes.

We understand that this opinion is being furnished to comply with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

(a) the registration statement on Form S-4 of the Issuer and the Guarantors relating to the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act on the date hereof (such registration statement being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”);

(b) an executed copy of the Indenture, including Article X thereof containing the Guarantee obligations of the Ohio Guarantor;

(c) the Articles of Organization of the Ohio Guarantor filed with the Ohio Secretary of State on May 10, 2011, as certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio as of June 11, 2012;

(d) the Operating Agreement of the Ohio Guarantor, dated as of August 29, 2011 (the “Operating Agreement”);

(e) the Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Managers of the Ohio Guarantor, dated April 10, 2012;

(f) A certificate of full force and effect issued by the Ohio Secretary of State dated June 11, 2012; and

(g) an executed copy of the Secretary’s Certificate of the Ohio Guarantor dated June , 2012.

We have also examined such written statutes of the State of Ohio and such written regulations thereunder and such reported orders, judgments or decrees of courts as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this letter.
