| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
On 3/3/2008 in Thomaston, Michael Martunas of Dragon Products reported a chemical spill. The 600-gallon spill of liquid acid cleaner, or urea hydrochloride, was caused when a valve was broken from a plastic storage tote the chemical was stored in. The employees at Dragon Products immediately flushed the spilled chemical down a drain with water. The drain empties to an old limestone quarry with approximately 13 million gallons of storage capacity.I spoke with Mr. Martunas on the phone about the details of the spill. I determined that a site visit was not necessary due to the fact that all traces of chemical had been flushed down the drain and no recovery was possible. A referral to hazardous waste enforcement was made for follow up.
