S A N J O A Q U I N Environmental Health Department Complaint Record Daily Time and Activity Summary from 1/1/2019 to 9/11/2019 for COHBWMPSB located at LITTLE POTATO SLOUGH Activity Date Recorded by 09/08/2019 10:12 AM- Received a call from Chief Christopherson, who stated Global Diving & PE 2546 FLORIDO 90 min Salvage has been contracted and will begin removing the hazardous SC 977 waste/material on board the vessel. He reported the vessel has not sunk completely. He observed a broken sheen on the water, approximately 25 ft long. He stated that based on SJC Sheriffs report, he suspects at least 1,200 gallons oil on board. He stated the local OSPR Warden is not on site, due to the continued emergency in Lake Tahoe. Called and updated Muniappa on the complaint. Called back Christopherson and asked him if he requests that I be on site. Christopherson stated "it wouldn't hurt" to have me on site, and he stated he could take me to the sinking vessel on a boat. I informed him that SJC EHD's jurisdiction is limited to the land, and we refer releases to waterways to the Coast Guard and FSW. However, if I am requested to be on site, I will respond and all of my time spent is billable. Christopherson understood and did not request that I respond. Christopherson stated boom and absorbent would be applied to the water to contain as much sheen as possible. Called and spoke to Robert McClellon to notify him that the Coast Guard reported observing a 25 ft long sheen near the sinking vessel in Little Potato Slough, and that the Coast Guard has hired a contractor to conduct a clean-up. 10:36 AM- END. 11:36 AM- Received a text message from Coast Guard Pollution Specialist Jason Raymond (510-697-9664) stating that OSPR Warden Mitch Goode is the Warden informed of the sinking vessel. I requested Jason Raymond to notify me when the clean-up is complete, the status of the vessel at the end of the cleanup, the amount of waste removed from the vessel, and a copy of the waste disposal record/hazardous waste manifest. I provided Jason with my email address. 11:42 AM- END. 5:00 PM - Received a call from Christopherson who reported the vessel did not sink due to another vessel owner providing David Lockard with stronger pumps to pump out the water from the vessel. He reported 500 gallons of oily water was removed from a sensor tank located in a battery room on the vessel. NRC is to remove the rest of the oily water from the tank tomorrow. Eight car batteries also found in the battery room. Port fuel tank also found in battery room, but unclear if it contains fuel. The engine room took on water and contains an oily water tank, unclear if that oily water was removed. The steering room did not have anything in it. A 55 gallon drum of oily water also found on board, along with various oily waste and rags throughout the vessel. Christopherson stated he and NRC are to be on site tomorrow sometime between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM to continue the removal of hazardous waste from the vessel. Notified him that I will need a copy of the waste disposal record. Generated complaint and entered complaint information into Envision Connect Remote. Documented today's narrative. 6:00 PM - END.
