| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
On 8/21/14, I received a call from Ron Secord of Maritime Energy Company indicating that a small spill had occurred at GAC Chemical Corporation in Searsport. The spill occurred while a tank truck was delivering fuel to the facility. Apparently, the driver of the truck did not use best work practices and spilled about one gallon of diesel to the ground from a hose while he was disconnecting the line. Maritime and GAC personnel used sorbent material to clean up the spill and disposed of all contaminated materials appropriately. No resources were impacted. No further Division of Response Services action is anticipated at this time.
