IV. NARRATIVE
On 2/2/17, at 1009 hours, Dragon Products Company reported that an estimated 50 gallons of diesel fuel and 7 gallons of antifreeze had leaked from a trailer dump tractor trailer that had rolled over in the on site quarry. They reported that 7 yards of sand had been used to contain and collect the spilled product. They reported that the truck had rolled over two days ago and was not uprighted until late yesterday because a crane needed to be brought in to right the truck. I met Michael Martunas on site to inspect the area. I reminded Michael that the incident should have been reported within two hours of the rollover and that Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) Division of Response Services could have taken action to stop and contain the leaking oil and fluids. I had them excavate through the frost layer to check for diesel contamination. Once the frost layer was removed, a small puddle of free product was found under it. All oil impacted soil was removed until field testing with oil in soil shake tests were negative. The area was excavated to a depth of approximately 2.5 feet depth, where stone rip rap material was encountered. The oiled soil was processed on site through the facility's kiln. The spill area is located in the quarry close to the quarry pond so I had them monitor the pond for oil sheen daily. There was no report of a visible oil sheen in the pond after a week of monitoring.No further Division of Response Services action is expected at this time.
