IV. NARRATIVE
Approximately forty gallons of #2 oil was reported spilled when an H.O. Bouchard delivery driver failed to properly attach a fill hose to the tank fitting and it "popped off." Dragon personnel estimated the spill at 100 - 150 gallons and brought in a truckload of sand to contain and collect the oil which flowed overland and entered a storm drain. The sand and sorbents were run through the Dragon cement kiln for disposal. The outfall of the catch basin drainage was lined with sorbent boom and monitored. No further action is expected.
V.ATTACHMENTS
None
