IV. NARRATIVE
On June 6, 2019, Responder Nina Caputo was alerted to a discharge of diesel to a fueling pad at Dragon Cement in Thomaston. Eric Greiner, an employee of Dragon Products, stated the spill occurred after the operator of a company vehicle drove away while the nozzle of the dispenser was still in the fuel port of the vehicle. The nozzle and fuel line were ripped from the dispenser.The automatic shut-off valve stopped any fuel from spilling from the dispenser, but an estimated 7 gallons of diesel spilled from the fuel line after the hose integrity was compromised. All diesel spilled to the dispenser pad. Dragon Products employees used sorbent pads and sorbent mineral to contain the spilled product. All oily contaminated sorbents were collected and disposed of through the facility Hazardous Waste stream.No action required by the Division of Response Services.
V.ATTACHMENTS
