Montezuma Fire is reporting a spill of 6000 pills on the roadway at HWY99 Frontage Road and Sunny Road, Stockton, CA. The responsible party was throwing drugs out of the window during the police car chaise. The suspect was apprehended and is in federal custody. EHD's clean up assistance is being requested. Called Montezuma Fire, 209-236-8105, spoke with Samantha. She indicated that she can't provide me the contact number to the onsite people but will get answers to my questions and call be back. Waited for a call back. Received a call back with additional information. The substance released is suspected to be fentanyl and it's spread on the road 0.5-1 mile area. The pills are aspirin size and are loose and not in the containers. Called Muni Naidu, discussed the course of action. Called Samantha with Montezuma Fire, provided ETA. 8:45 pm, arrived onsite. Met with Lieutenant Jo Pini, Valley Division, 916-731-6426. Montezuma Fire and DEA representatives are onsite as well. She indicated that they suspect the substance being oxycodone. Met with Chief Cardoza (Montezuma Fire), Lieutenant Jo Pini and Scott Wright(Supervising Special Agent DEA, incident commander), was informed that DEA representatives picked up the bulk of the loose pills and are taking it as evidence and will be analyzing by DEA lab tomorrow. They have no way of running the test today and don't know what it is. Walked the spill area to where the majority of the spill occurred, it was getting dark at this point and hard to see. Can still see crushed pills on the ground, fragmented pills approximately 1-5 per 10 square foot area. Expressed my concerns for the remaining material. Scott Wright indicated that their plan is to wash the remaining fragments down and close the case, he indicated that is how they deal when other control substances like cocaine is spilled. Expressed my concerns about washing down the street. Was informed by Jo Pini that they can't secure the area for the night due to lack of resources. Scott Wight indicated that if anyone eats the pill they will likely end up in the hospital but likely not die. Called Muni Naidu, discussed clean up strategy and explained that the area can't be secured. Per this discussion with Muni Naidu, the street shouldn't be washed even if the area can't be secured. Discussed my concerns with Scott Wight, who indicated that he believes that they picked up 90% of what was spilled and it's their protocol to wash the rest of it down with bleach and soap solution (1/20 mix ratio). 9:09 pm, called Cal OES 800-852-7550 (spoke with Justin), asked for DTSC stand by contact information. Waited for the response. Called Chem Tech line 800-424-9300, discussed SDS and clean up methodology for oxycodone. Received a call from Michael Pixton with DTSC provided spill information, Michael indicated that based on the information he wouldn't be opposed to have the fire department to wash the spill but can also contact Parc Environmental for clean up. He indicated that pills are photosensitive and likely water soluble. After some discussion he indicated that he will contact Parc for clean up and call me back with ETA. Received a call back from Michael, he indicated that all contractors in the area are out of time and they will only be able to arrive in the morning. Provided an update to M. Naidu. Discussed the clean up plan with onsite agencies. Was advised by Jo Pini to not stay onsite due to safety concerns. Left the site. 5105.rpt Page 2 of 3
