| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
On 8/17/12, I received report from GAC Chemical Corporation, of a five gallon spill of caustic soda in their facility. The cause of the release was a faulty valve, which was later replaced. All of the spilled product was contained and recovered from their engineered containment system. The product was then put back into the process for processing. No further action by Response Services is anticipated at this time.
