I All-Terrain Vehicle <br /> 8 Roll-off Bins (20 yard) <br /> 3 Bales of 8"X 10' Sorbent Boom <br /> 4 Bales of Sorbent Pads <br /> 03/14/2018 —Hammond Canyon, Inc. experienced a release of an estimated 20 bbls of crude oil <br /> from tanks located on a non-operational lease as reported by the land owner. This incident took <br /> place in Hammond Canyon at Canada Larga, Ventura, CA. Two 250 barrel crude oil storage <br /> tanks leaked from the "gauge hatch", apparently due to over pressurization from a failed block <br /> valve. The product breached the dirt secondary containment berms through holes in the berms <br /> caused by rodents. The product traveled South down grade in a small streambed with the <br /> assistance of water from recent rain fall. The oil-water mix traveled approximately 800 feet, <br /> where it "pooled up". At this location, Patriot Environmental staged a vacuum truck to recover <br /> the contaminated water. Following additional reconnaissance, minor contamination was also <br /> found on the banks in various locations an additional 600 feet beyond the initial pooling. Due to <br /> the amount of rain fall predicted shortly in the weather forecast, Patriot Environmental then went <br /> downstream, constructed an underflow dam and placed sorbent booms in various locations near <br /> bridges in an effort to reduce the potential spread of contamination. An additional vacuum truck <br /> removed fluids from the overflowing tanks to create supplementary containment space. Clean up <br /> consisted of contaminated soil removal and a deluge flush with cold water followed by the oil- <br /> water mx recovery with vacuum trucks. Follow-up activities included interface with regulatory <br /> agencies, waste management, transportation and disposal. Agencies involved were CA DFW- <br /> OSPR (OES# 18-1670), Ventura County Department of Environmental Health, Ventura County <br /> Sherriff's Office of Emergency Services, and the Ventura County Fire Department. <br /> Resources: <br /> Personnel: 2 Project Managers <br /> 3 Field Supervisors <br /> 3 Site Foremen <br /> 33 Field Technicians <br /> 3 Equipment Operators <br /> Equipment: 6 Response Trucks <br /> 2 Gear Trucks <br /> 2 Crew Vans <br /> 2 Response Trailer <br /> 1 70-bbl Vacuum Truck <br /> 1 120-bbl Vacuum Tanker with Tractor <br /> 1 Double Roll-off Bin Trailer with Tractor <br /> 1 4k Water Truck <br /> 2 Roll-off bins (20-yard) <br /> 121,000 Gallon Storage Tank <br /> 1 All-Terrain Vehicle <br /> 175 Bales of Sorbent Pads <br /> 55 Bales of 8"X 10' Sorbent Boom <br />
