IV. NARRATIVE
On August 21, 2018 a call came in from the homeowner that his above ground home heating oil tank was dripping from the firematic valve and he was unable to stop it. Upon my arrival the ground underneath the tank was stained and the tank was actively leaking. A container was underneath to catch the dripping oil upon my arrival. I pumped out the remainder of the home heating oil tank into a drum and removed it for proper disposal. The site was being excavated due to the rebuild of the home. The excavator onsite was able to remove the contaminated soil which was removed from the site. The soil was disposed of properly. No other resources were at risk.No further action by the Division of Response Services is expected at this time.
