| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
1/29/10 1500 Mike Martunas from Dragon Products reported that 75 to 100 gallons of #4 oil had been released from an aboveground storage tank (AST) into the containment around the tank. Employees were using oil absorbent to collect the oil. No oil had left the concrete containment dike. I met Mike at the site. There were two aboveground storage tanks plumbed together in the covered #4 oil house. The release happened when they were recirculating the oil to warm it because of the very cold temperatures that caused the oil to become very viscous. The thick oil was being pumped into one tank; that tank overfilled when the 2 tanks did not equalize quickly enough because of the high viscosity of the oil. Oil came out a level sticking opening used to measure the tank level. The spilled oil in the containment tank was collected with oil absorbent and fed into the cement making process.No further action by Response Services is expected.
