IV. NARRATIVE
3/14/09 12:30 State Police dispatch notified me that Michael Martunas from Dragon Products Company had reported a spill of 30 to 50 gallons of diesel fuel at the cement plant in Thomaston. I called Michael and he reported that the spill had resulted when a worker was preparing to fill a compressor fuel tank with a fuel delivery truck. The nozzle on the truck had been left engaged and when the worker engaged the power take off (PTO) pump it began to discharge fuel to the parking lot. Sand from the company quarry was used to contain the spill to the asphalt and protect the nearby storm drain.I went to the site that day and confirmed that the spill had been contained and cleaned up. The spill had not left the asphalt and there was no sign that it had made it to the storm drain. The asphalt was stained but no free product remained. The contaminated sand used in the clean up was disposed of in the company kiln operation.No further action by Response Services is expected.
