SAN1 O A Q U I N Environmental Health Department COU N '1 Y Complaint Record Daily Time and Activity Summary from 1/1/2010 to 2/5/2019 for COJXJ6610 located at BYRON RD & WICKLUND RD TRACY, CA Activity Date Recorded by 01/11/2019 Received complaint from Kimberly Blackwell at 11AM. Called CHP Srgt Rickman, PE 2546 FLORIDO 270 min who verified the release of 30-40 gallons of BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid onto SC 544 the roadway and soil from a tanker truck. Rickman stated the release has been stopped and it did not appear the fluid impacted the tracks. Rickman sent me the Safety Data Sheet(SDS) for the fluid, which states —67% of the material is water and —33% is urea. Informed Rickman that the responsible party will have to get the release cleaned up. Obtained the responsible party information from Rickman. Discussed diesel exhaust fluid with John Alaniz, REHS, and Haza Saeed, RENS, before leaving for the site. Arrived on site at—12PM. Met with Sgt. Rickman of CHP and David Giddings of AG2 Transportation Services, LLC and driver of the tanker truck. Observed white staining from the evaporated fluid on westbound Byron Rd. Observed dirt that appeared freshly saturated from the fluid release, adjacent the tanker truck. The tracks did not appear to be impacted by the fluid. According to David Giddings, the release came from an outlet on the underside of the truck, which he tightened to stop the release. The release was stopped prior to my arrival, and no waterways were impacted. Ponder Environmental has been contracted to conduct the clean-up. Issued Mike Cunningham, owner of AG2 Transportation Services, LLC the Notice To Abate (NTA). David Giddings signed the NTA on behalf of AG2 Transportation. Attempted to email the NTA to ag2dispatch@outlook.com, but was unable to due to receiving an error message when logging in to my email. Informed Srgt Rickman that the Cal OES spill report needs to be updated to reflect that SJC EHD is not performing the clean-up, but rather a clean-up contractor. Srgt Rickman stated he would get the report updated. Rickman and Giddings left the site, at approximately 1 pm and 1:30pm, respectively. I remained on site and entered the data into Envision Connect Remote (ECR) for the Emergency Response Record Form and the Notification of Hazardous Waste Discharge (Prop 65). Downloaded photos of the spill, prior to clean-up. Completed narrative. At 2:20pm, Ponder Environmental arrived onsite. Provided Chris Johns of Ponder with Paul Holt's, Union Pacific Rail Road Haz Mat Specialist, phone number, to verify that Ponder may conduct the clean-up, since the spill occurred about 50ft from Union Pacific rail road tracks. Chris verified with Paul that he may conduct the clean-up of the spill. Chris stated he will be taking samples of the soil for the waste determination. Notified Chris, that EHD will need a copy of the sample analytical, prior to disposal, and he will need to call the EHD ER cellphone when he is close to being done with clean-up so that our ER on-call inspector can come out to verify the clean-up. Chris agreed. Left site. Arrived at EHD at 3:30pm. Called and spoke to Famy Uvalle and Mike Cunningham of AG2 Transport. Notified them that the sample lab results and final waste disposal records will be needed to close out the complaint. Notified Mike that EHD's current rate is $152/hour. Received a call from Chris of Ponder Environmental stating they are done with the clean-up. Updated Leyna Huynh, REHS, on the clean-up and let her know that Ponder Page 2 of 3
