IV. NARRATIVE
Dave Boyce called to report that Dragon had spilled a drum of lube oil. The product was Mobiltec, an industrial lubricant. The drum was accidently knocked over into a storm drain. The drain leads to quarry 1, a old flooded quarry that Dragon uses as a process water source. Dave reported that they had the outfall boomed and they were collecting what they could with pads from a small boat. I responded that he should check the specific gravity of the oil as it probably was close to 1.0. I told him that some of the oil probably sunk. Dave reported that they did not need any assistance. A subsequent verbal report from Dave reported that only a slight sheen was left on the water. No visit was made and no further work is needed.
