| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
An unknown amount of Aqueous Ammonia was released at the General Alum Chemical (GAC) manufacturing facility due to a mechanical failure in their equipment.The leaked product was all contained inside their building and on the concrete floor. Their crew was able to neutralize and decontaminate their equipment and the room where the discharge occurred. We provided area monitoring for them to ensure worker safety.The only waste generated was consumed personal protective equipment (PPE).No further Division of Response Services action is expected at this time.
