| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
8/1/11 0845 Michael Martunas from Dragon Products reported that an estimated 180 gallons of #4 fuel oil was spilled to the gravel yard that had 40 years of accumulated cement dust and kiln clinkers on top of it. The spill occurred when a large piece of debris dropped off the roof of the Mill building striking and breaking the fuel oil feed pipe to the kiln. Sand from was used to absorb and contain the spilled oil. The spill occurred around 1 am but the extent of the damage and spill were not discovered until day light. An estimated 180 gallons was spilled. I went to the site to confirm it had been cleaned up completely. On site excavation of the oiled sand and other oiled material was on going. The damaged pipe was still dripping but the drips were to absorbent pads. All signs of oil were removed and the excavated material was fed into the factory kiln for treatment. No oil traveled from the immediate area of the spill.No further action by Response Services is expected.
