IAF Glass <br /> Libbey-Owens-Ford Company <br /> Mr . Jim Eckman <br /> California Regional Water February 27, 1986 <br /> Quality Control Board <br /> Central Valley Region <br /> 3201 S Street <br /> Sacramento, CA 95816 <br /> Dear Mr . Eckman : <br /> The following information is given too confirm our telephone <br /> conversation of February 24 and to give additional data that may <br /> be of concern : <br /> 1 ) On the evening of February 22/23 a sump pump failure in our <br /> autoclave basement caused the basement to flood with water . <br /> Power was restored and the water removed from the basement <br /> normally. <br /> 2) On Monday morning, February 24, during routine inspection , a <br /> pool of oil was discovered within the dirt/gravel based <br /> containment surrounding our three autoclave oil tanks. <br /> 3) It was subsequently determined that the oil was floated out <br /> of the tank through the manhole on top by water pumped to the <br /> tank by the flooded autoclave basement oil sump . <br /> 4) 1681 gallons is known to be missing from the tank and another <br /> 2432 could have been added to the tank since the last inventory <br /> was made. A maximum of 4113 gallons, therefore, may have been <br /> spilled. <br /> 5) A total of 2650 gallons has been pumped from the containment <br /> and sold to a recycler , <br /> 6) A contractor is currently removing the contaminated soil from <br /> beneath the tanks and placing it into a pile in the area where <br /> soil from our Spill of January, 1985 is being biodegraded in the <br /> land spreading operation approved by the CRWQCB last year . We <br /> request , since this material is similar to the previously <br /> contaminated soil to dispose of this soil in the identical <br /> manner . <br /> We await your visit of March 3, 1986 and request your advice on <br /> how we might resolve this situation justly . <br /> PF . wl�� <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> MAR 31981 <br /> Ronald W.
