| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
On 7/11/06, 0910 hours, Tom Tardiff of Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway reported a thirty gallon spill of hydraulic oil at their Kidder Siding in Searsport. The release took place over an eighth of a mile of siding track and it came from a failed pump on their Petebone, which is a large machine that is used for heavy lifting. All of its power transmission is hydraulic, so the machine became immobilized in an eight of a mile.The crew wiped the oil off the ties and rails, but they did not remove the bedding material which had traces of oil to a depth of about three inches. I would expect that the product would degrade with this much exposure to the elements and based on our collective experience, product migration is highly unlikely under these circumstances..
