IV. NARRATIVE
5/31/08 10:30 Eric Greiner from dragon Products reported that 5 to 7 gallons of hydraulic oil had spilled to the ground inside the plant grounds when a line broke on the primary crusher. The oil ran down the side of the building and to the ground. Sand at the plant was used to contain and absorb the oil. The sand and impacted soil was removed and fed into the kiln for treatment. Sand was put into place to capture the small leak until the line could be replaced. No site visit was made.No further action by Response Services is expected.
