IV. NARRATIVE
On 9-23-04, Dragon Products reported the discovery of four 55 gallon drums in the quarry. These drums were found during excavation and one of the drums rolled down a twenty foot slope. The operator stopped immediately and notified plant personnel. Ann Thayer, the environmental liaison/PR officer called this office. Thayer also called E.P.I., an environmental firm to assist in the identity and disposal of the contents of the drums. Only one drum contained liquid and a field test indicated no hazardous compounds. A soil sample was also collected and it was negative for heavy metals and Semi-volatile's (TCLP method), see attached report and lab analysis. As a precaution Ann had the operator excavate about 22 cubic yards of soil and this soil was recycled through the cement kiln. Based on this information no further action will be required.
