I later spoke by phone with Richard Steffler and with Doug Wilson <br /> of San Joaquin County Public Health Services and advised them that <br /> I would evaluate the spill and file a spill report if necessary. <br /> The site maintenance worker estimated that up to 30, 000 gallons of <br /> effluent could have accumulated during the approximately 18 hours <br /> the effluent accumulated at the pump station (12 : 38 pm Wednesday, <br /> when the line was cut, to approximately 7: 00 am Thursday when the <br /> spill was discovered by the site maintenance worker and the <br /> extraction well pumps were shut down) . The most recent effluent <br /> analytical data is for the month of February 1993 . For that month, <br /> the highest value for TCP was 0. 5 pounds per day. This value was <br /> reached on one day only; values for the rest of the month were 0.3 <br /> or 0.4 pounds per day. <br /> I spoke by phone with EPA's on-duty On-Scene Coordinator, Brad <br /> Shipley, to evaluate the spill. He advised me that the reportable <br /> limit for TCP is 10 pounds per day. Based on this information, we <br /> determined that a spill report would not need to be filed and that <br /> no emergency response was necessary. <br /> The electrical line was repaired by noon on Friday, April 2 , and <br /> the extraction well pumps and plant effluent pump station were <br /> restarted. A copy of this report will be sent to San Joaquin <br /> County Public Health Services and also to Southern Pacific, the <br /> owners of the off-site railroad tracks where the spill extended. <br />
