IV. NARRATIVE
Dragon Products notified DEP of a spill of approximately 110 gallons of lube oil from their conveyor belt system. It was reported that the conveyor system had been in shut-down for some time and they were beginning the start-up which warmed up the lube oil and resulted in a leak from the top seal. The oil spilled onto the conveyor belt which was loaded with sand. Most if not all of the oil was contained in the sand and was included in the cement process. No further Response Services action is anticipated at this time.
