Complaint Investigation Summary Report#:5105 COMPLAINT ID: COZGGOIHY Site Location: 1000 E ROTH RD Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 02/09/2020 11:30 AM - Received Cal OES spill report#20-0788 and an update to this report. FLORIDO Called and spoke Brad Douglass of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and was referred to Mike Algots, UPRR Haz Mat Manager(816-308-8913). Called Mike who verified less than 10 gallons of diesel fuel, initially reported as transmission fluid, released from a refrigeration container from it's damaged motor. The release impacted concrete only, was stopped, the leaking container was transferred to the leaker pad, and absorbent was applied to the spill on the Ieaker pad by UPRR personnel. Per Mike the responsible party is UPRR and the waste generated from the spill clean-up will be kept on site until the facility's next waste pick-up. A sample of the waste will be taken for analysis by the clean-up contractor to determine if it is hazardous. Patriot Environmental is en route to the spill location to perform the clean up. Called and updated Muniappa Naidu, CUPA Program Coordinator, about the spill. Called and left a voice message for Brandon Eck, Patriot Environmental Supervisor(916-767-9598), who is en route to conduct the clean-up. Called and briefly spoke to Derek Smith of Patriot Environmental (916-347-8724), when I received a call back from Brandon. Spoke to Brandon and let him know to contact me when he is about 45 minutes from completing the clean-up. Brandon agreed. Called Derek back and let him know that I informed Brandon to contact me when he close to completing the clean-up. Derek understood. Text messaged Brandon from the ER cell phone requesting he send me photos of the spill areas and an estimated time for when he would be finished with the clean-up. 12:00 PM - END 12:42 PM - Received a text message from Brandon with photos of the spill areas and stated his crew would be on site within 30 minutes to start the clean-up and it would take them at most 1.5 hours to complete. Brandon recommended I leave my house around 1:45pm so that I arrive on site as they are completing the clean-up. Generated complaint and began generating the Emergency Response Record form and Prop 65. 2:18 PM -Arrived on site and checked in at the UPRR front office. Met Brandon at the Ieaker pad. Observed absorbent staining on the concrete leak pad beneath the affected refrigeration container. The spill was stopped and the leak pad appeared clean. Took photos of spill area. Per Brandon, the diesel spill on the leak pad appeared cleaned up before he arrived on site, and he did not know where the used absorbent was placed. After discussions with Mike Algots, and Brandon, it was determined that the absorbent used-a 25 Ib. bag-on the leak pad spill was blown away by the heavy winds before Brandon arrived on-site. Brandon escorted me to the initial spill location near the train tracks. Observed absorbent staining on the concrete next to the track. The spill clean-up was complete in this area. Took photos of spill area and of the 55-gallon drum of waste generated. Brandon stated he found no evidence of the spill in any other areas. Brandon stated that he found two smaller diesel spills on concrete in the yard that appeared to be unrelated to the original diesel spill. Generated the Notice To Abate as Brandon cleaned up these two spills and placed the used absorbent into the 55-gallon drum of used absorbent from the original spill. Brandon took a sample of the waste and labeled the drum as 5105.rpt Page 2 of 4
