IV. NARRATIVE
Eric Grenier contacted this office to report a 25 gallon spill of Castrol T220 lube oil. The oil was discharged as a result of a seal failure on the clinker cooler at the cement plant. Some of the oil was burned up due to the high temps in this area of the plant. Some of the spilled oil was captured with clay litter sorbent and placed on the solid fuel burn pile for disposal. No site visit was made by DEP. No further action by Response Services is expected.
