Complaint Investigation Summary Report#:5105 COMPLAINT ID: COUEZKMF6 Site Location: 11530 W. EIGHT MILE RD Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 12/12/2019 Received a call from Sherri Keys (Manager) at 209-477-5364. She said that they BAKER are doing the clean-up right now and that I need to hurry and get there before it is done in 20 minutes. Left office and headed to spill location. Arrived on site and Sherri Keys pointed to the area where the boat was. While walking to the boat there was light sheen in several of the boat slips. No absorbent pads or booms were being utilized in any boat slips other than the one with the sunken boat. Upon reaching the affected boat there was a strong smell of fuel in the area. The diving company had already raised the boat upon arrival. I asked them if they would be finishing up the clean-up. They said they were only there to get the boat out of there. No other facility staff was in the area attempting to capture or stop the spread of fuel in the water. I went to the store to talk to Sherri Keys about the clean-up. I let her know that the spill was spreading to other areas and going out into the Delta. She said they would be down there to get everything else cleaned up. The waste will be placed in drums and labeled and picked up by Safety Kleen. Went back down to the boat and the tow boat had arrived on site. The raised boat had approximately 10-15 contaminated absorbent pads on the front of it. I asked the tow boat employee if they were going to take the boat with those left on there. He said he didn't know. I asked the diving company and they said they would take them off so that the facility could bag them up and dispose of them. Called Elena Manzo (Lead Sr. REHS) to let her know what was going on at the site. Received a call from Jason Raymond (510-697-9664) from the Coast Guard. Let him know what was going on and sent him a few pictures. Let him know that I was unsure if the boat was actively leaking. The boom across the boat slip was opened up to remove the boat that had sunk. Received a call from Jason Gaitan (EHS) (209-468-9848). He asked me to text the owner's phone number (209-477-5364) to Matt Plaza (831-601-3604) of Fish and Wildlife. After the boat was towed away. No facility staff was on hand to replace the boom. A light sheen was observed escaping the boat slip and going out into the Delta. Sheen was moving in an eastward direction and extended from the dock approximately 10 feet at the furthest point. Waiting approximately 10 minutes after the boat was removed for facility staff to come and start cleaning up the rest of the spill. Nobody arrived so I walked back up to the store and spoke with Sherri Keys again. She said that people were on the way to start clean-up. One had to fill up gas before he comes down there. I let her know that they need to make a reasonable effort to capture the release. They cannot just let it float away. She said she understood and that they were coming down to clean it up. Went back down to the boat dock. After several minutes one employee came down and started pulling the booms out of the water. I showed him the areas that were still needing clean up and asked if he was going to clean it up. He said he was just told to pull the booms out of the water. Called Elena Manzo (Lead Sr. REHS) to update her on what was going on. Two other employees came down and began helping pull the booms out of the water. I let them know I had to leave now and wanted to know the plan for the rest of the clean-up. All three said that all they were doing was pulling the booms out of the water and that was it. Two large black plastic garbage bags of booms and absorbent pads were generated. Left site. Upon arrival back at the office received a call from Andrew Christopherson (Coast Guard) (510-928-9939). He said that the sheen on the water is light and that it is unrecoverable. The sheen will dissipate on its own in a day or two. Let Elena Manzo (Lead Sr. REHS) know. 12/12/2019 Contacted Sherri Keys, Manager for King Island Marina. Asked if Vessel Assist GAITAN were out there. She stated that they are. I asked if she could contact the ER phone when clean up is almost complete. She stated that she would. 12/12/2019 Updated Lydia Baker(RENS) on clean-up progress and let her know that Sherri GAITAN Keys, manager, will contact the ER phone when clean-up is almost complete. 5105.rpt Page 3 of 6
