SANJ O A Q U I N Environmental Health Department I—OUNTY— Complaint Record Daily Time and Activity Summary from 5/24/2017 to 7/12/2017 for 000043527 located at 6649 EMBARCADERO DRIVE Activity Date Recorded by 05/24/2017 1 received a complaint from Tim Fontaine, Village West Marina Harbor Master, PE 2546 FLORIDO 120 min regarding a vessel leaking oil from its damaged propeller into the water. Fontaine SC 544 placed absorbent and boom in the water to absorb and contain the oil release. I called Tim Fontaine (209-951-1551)to obtain any other information. He said he had hung a bucket beneath the leak to catch any further leak, however the leak had stopped. He also stated Garret Backus was onsite when the incident occurred. During a later call, Tim confirmed he is willing to containerize and temporarily store the contaminated absorbent and boom for the owner. I called Garret Backus, who stated he would call me if he wanted me to go out to the site. I created a complaint number for the incident and filled out a short term complaint form. I also filled out the complaint information in Envision Connect Remote. Garrett called me back and asked me to go out to the site. I arrived at 2:07 PM and met with Garrett and Tim at the vessel's location. The vessel was no longer leaking oil and absorbent, boom, and the bucket had been placed to absorb and contain the leaked oil. I obtained the responsible party's contact information. Greg Ebenhacker is the vessel owner(209-969-7391; greghack@hotmail.com). I called Greg who stated he was having J & H Marin repair his boat. I notified him that I would be emailing him a Notice to Abate. During a later call, I told Greg that Tim would temporarily store the contaminated absorbent and boom until Greg disposes of it at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. I notified him to submit a copy of the disposal records to the EHD within 30 days. I called Fred of J & H Marin (209-951-0283)who stated J & H would either be repairing the boat where it is docked or towing it to the launch ramp, taking it out of the water, and placing it on a trailer. I told him that J & H is not to take the used absorbent and booms to dispose of them. Fred confirmed that his crew would not take the contaminated material. I left the site at 2:53 PM. I wrote the Notice to Abate and emailed it to Greg, along with the address of the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. I created and printed the photo log. 05/25/2017 Spoke to Tim Fontaine, who verified J & H Marin had not repaired the vessel. Tim PE 2546 FLORIDO 12 min stated that he has left the absorbent, boom, and bucket in place to continue SC 544 containing any further oil release until the vessel is repaired. Spoke to Fred of J & H Marin who stated his crew had not yet gone to Village West Marina to repair the vessel. He stated the repair boat would likely not be available until next week, at which point J & H would repair the vessel's propeller, by towing it to the launch ramp and taking the vessel out of the water and placing the vessel on a trailer. I asked Fred to call me/ leave me a voice message to notify me when his crew will repair the boat. Page 1 of 3
