PAU[N WF.�o. .co SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY- OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES �- 222 East Weber Avenue,Room 610A, Stockton, CA 95202 Telephone (209)468-3969 �4tiFapiN�P CALIFORNIA HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT REPORT Additional Comments Form XSJ-01056 L All times are approximate. 0930 - Off duty fire fighter; Craig Young reported that approx. two gallons of gasoline had overflowed and spilled when a gasoline pump failed to shut off properly. He said the spill had occurred at the 76 Station located at 4100 E.Fremont St. in Stockton. He added that the station attendant had angrily refused to cleanup the spill. 6. 0945 -I notified Allison Youngblood of SJ Co. Environmental Health of the spill report. Mrs. Youngblood said she would be responding. 1030-I arrived at the facility. Mrs. Youngblood had just arrived and had begun her inspection. The spill had already been removed and the manager of the station had said it was only about a gallon and he did not report the spill because he felt it was not a"significant release". I provided him with a copy of the spill/release notification guidance. Mrs. Youngblood continued to perform a tank/pump inspection where she did locate a leak in the pump of the diesel storage. I performed a business plan inspection and found only minor discrepancies that were corrected at the time of inspection. V 1145 -Completion of inspection. ` Note,Mr. Grewal;the manager,was very cooperative and was willing to do what ever was required to be incompliance with regulations. He did express concern about how to determine what quantity was a significant release and that if he reported every time a customer spills a small amount of gas onto the ground, that it would prompt inspectors to visit his facility. I told him the state regulation does not hu base the reporting requirement on the size of the spill,rather it is based on "significance. I told him to use his best judgment taking all the circumstances into consideration and if he was still unsure, to report it anyway. However,Mrs. Youngblood did tell him that a 1 gallon gasoline was required to be `, reported to Environmental Health to comply with the Prop. 65 notification. To his concern about inspectors,I responded, OES is aware that gasoline is spilled frequently at gas stations, and those kind of reports,however frequent, would not necessarily prompt an inspection as long as the "business' made the report. i_ r r Page 3 r
