4 CITATION NO. A20627 RAINBOW BAKERY PAGE 4 OF 14 AND RHONDA ARCHABALD OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON'S ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES OFFICE. I ALSO MET SAM MARTINEZ AND STEVE EDGER OF RAINBOW BREADS/EARTH GRAIN BREADS. I ADVISED ALL PARTIES, I WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT FOR POSSIBLE STATE WATER POLLUTION VIOLATIONS. ARCHABALD INDICATED SHE WOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT FOR HAZARDOUS WASTED VIOLATIONS. I COLLECTED SOIL SAMPLES AT THE HEAD AND END OF THE CANAL. I COLLECTED DARK OILY SAMPLES AT THE CONCRETE VAULT AND AT THE DISCHARGE AREA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. A WATER SAMPLE WAS COLLECTED AT THE END OF THE CANAL. ALL SAMPLES WERE PLACED IN CLEAN GLASS JARS AND SEALED. THE SAMPLES WERE KEPT UNDER REFRIGERATION UNTIL THEY WERE DELIVERED TO THE WATER POLLUTION LABORATORY IN RANCHO CORDOVA THE NEXT DAY. AFTER COLLECTING THE POLLUTION SAMPLES, I MET WITH SAM MARTINEZ. MARTINEZ IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE PLANTS SANITATION CHIEF. HE STATED, THE PLANT MANAGER WAS OUT OF TOWN AND COULD NOT BE REACHED. I ASKED HIM, IF HE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MATERIAL IN THE CANAL. MARTINEZ STATED, THEY WERE AWARE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CANAL. THE BAKERY HAD BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES OF VARIOUS VIOLATIONS. MARTINEZ STATED THE BAKERY IN THE PROCESS OF SHOPPING FOR A HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTRACTOR TO CLEAN THE PROBLEM. MARTINEZ STATED, ORIGINALLY AN EMPLOYEE WAS ASSIGNED TO SCOOP OUT THE DRAIN WITH A SHOVEL. THAT IS HOW THE AREA AROUND THE CONCRETE VAULT BECAME SO BLACK. MARTINEZ STATED THAT THE DRAIN COLLECTED ALL OF THE STORM DRAIN RUNOFF FROM ALL OF THE PARKING LOTS ON THE PROPERTY. HE SAID, THE COMPANY USE TO STEAM CLEAN ALL OF THERE EQUIPMENT IN THE BACK PARKING LOT. THIS INCLUDED BAKERY EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS TRUCKS. THEY WOULD STEAM CLEAN EVERYTHING.
