Lyida Baker with EHD and I responded and met <br />with the facility Plant Engineer, Antonio Rocha. <br />Antonio Roach confirmed the information Elianna received. The release is from a <br />loose valve on the evaporative Coil. The valve was tightened and release was <br />stopped. <br />There was no ammonia Odor at the time of the inspection. <br />The valve was up high on the ceiling and could not been seen. Antonio showed <br />me a photo of the valve. They believe the valve was loose due to the high wind <br />coming from the docking doors. <br />Generated a generic inspection report and emailed to Antonio. Incident <br />investigation is in progress. Incident investigation report will be looked at during <br />the next CalARP routine inspection. <br />01/27/2021 6:30-7:30am: Notified by the San Joaquin General Hospital (468-6007) of an <br />ammonia release at 730 Spreckels Ave in Manteca.
