Environmental Health Department SAN JOAQUIN UNTY Complaint Record Daily Time and Activity Summary from 1/1/2017 to 5/2/2017 for C06XPHU2T located at 3028 Navy Dr, Stockton Activity Date Recorded by 01/28/2017 1:42 pm -3:30 pm. EHD received notification of the spill at approximately 1 pm on PE 2546 BACKUS 108 min Saturday January 28. 1 arrived on site at 1:42 pm and met Jordan Cain, SC 978 environmental contact for Pacific Ethanol. Jordan said a forklift driver was moving a metal tote of Corrpro and had an accident spilling the chemical into the concrete storm water surface conveyance. Jordan stated the spill occurred at 5:30 pm on Friday January 27. Jordan stated the forklift driver used a lot of water to rinse the Corrpro off the concrete and asphalt into the storm water ditch that surrounds the facility. Corrpro was observed in approximately 800 feet of storm water ditch which is composed of soil with no concrete lining. Jordan said the Corrpro becomes a white cloudy liquid when exposed to water for a length of time. Initially when Corrpro contacts with water it floats on top of the water as a red oil. The spill did not appear to flow off site. The ditch water was blocked with solid material to prevent flow of the chemical further downstream. Ponder Environmental is responding to the scene. Richard Stiffler(City of Stockton) and Jeff Wait(Port of Stockton)were also on site. Notice to Abate issued to Jordan Cain. 01/28/2017 5-6 pm. Haza S. and I returned to the site and observed Ponder Environmental PE 2546 BACKUS 60 min starting to use a vacuum truck to remove the standing liquid from the ditch. SC 978 01/28/2017 At 01:00pm I was notified by Kasey Foley of spill at Pacific Ethanol facility that is PE 2546 SAEED 270 min located at 3028 Navy Drive, Stockton, CA. I was told 400-500 gallons of SC 944 Algaecide was spilled last night at the parking lot of this facility. I told Kasey that I was on my way to UPPR incident, and she told me that she called Garrett to follow up with this incident, but he did not answer. At 01:54pm Garrett called me and told me that he is responding to the Pacific Ethanol incident. At 02:13pm I called Richard Stiffler with the City of Stockton and notified him about this incident. Richard told me that he is at the UPRR incident, and after he finishes there, he will go to Pacific Ethanol. At 04:35pm Garett asked me to notify the Ag commissioner office. I called, but no one answered. Garrett was following up with incident(C00042855)and asked me to follow up with this incident. At 05:00pm I arrived at Pacific Ethanol site and Garett explained to me the natures of the release and the clean-up expectation. At 05:10pmTony Fedota, Ponder Environmental supervisor for this clean-up arrived on site with his crew. I discussed with Tony his plan for the clean-up and EHD requirement. Tony told me that tonight they will start pumping out the contaminated liquid into the pump truck, and tomorrow they will start the excavation to clean-up the contaminated soil inside the ditch. I also met with Jordan Cain, the EH&S manager for this site, and I explained to her my expectation for the clean-up and waste disposal. At 06:50pm I left the site to follow up with incident*C00042855. At 08:14pm, Tony called and told me that he discovered two storm drains that could be contaminated with the spilled materials, and the storm drains do not flow outside the site, but connected to the contaminated ditch. I told Tony that will be there around 11:00pm. At 10:45pm I returned to the site to follow up with the clean-up. I inspected the two storm drains, which are located north of the facility. Both of the storm drains are connected to a third storm drain inside the contaminated ditch. I told Tony that they need to pump out the liquid out of the storm drains and pressure wash/triple rinse the storm drains. Another pump truck and more crew from Ponder Environmental arrived on site, and they started pumping the liquid out of the storm drains. The third storm drains was tightly sealed and could not be open. Tony told me he will open it tomorrow morning when the excavator arrive. Page 1 of 5
