16777 Howland Road, Lathrop <br /> o I 1 As~ <br /> Received a call from the San Joaquin General dispatch.{,Approximately 1Ogals of sulfuric <br /> acid had leaked from its storage tank. <br /> Arrived at the site and met with Scott Rosenquist,production supervisor. He took me to <br /> the accident scene. I took pictures. <br /> I asked him about the two releases that occurred on 5/9/07 and 5/11107 and why the tank <br /> has not been emptied and repaired. Scott said that they are in the process of empting the <br /> tank but it is taking time because tank#8,where the product is being temporarily stored, <br /> can only hold 14 feet of liquid. He said that as the liquid level goes down, during <br /> production the leaking tank is being emptied. He said that it will take a day or two to <br /> empty the entire tank. <br /> He also said that someone has left the valve to the day tank closed and there was a <br /> pressure built into the base of the tank that initiated the release. As long as the valve is <br /> open there should not be any more leaks. <br /> The day tank is being monitored with an alarm and emptied as needed. <br /> Left scene at 1 o'clock. <br />
