Complaint Investigation Summary Report #. 5105 COMPLAINT ID: COELYLTNF Site Location: Lone tree Rd. 1,200 feet east of Wagner Rd. Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 08/10/2018 Cesar Ruvalcaba with EHD asked me to follow up on the cleanup of this incident. SAEED The cleanup has not been scheduled. At 9:25am I called Alex Steele and Dave Larsen with PG&E and they did not answer. I left a voicemail for Alex to let me know when they will conduct the cleanup. At 10:07am since I have not heard from either one, I called again, and they did not answer. At 10:09am Dave called me back, and told me he is sick and will not start the cleanup until Monday morning ( 08/13/18 around 09:00am). Sample was taken. Roll bin already on site. I called Cesar and email him to update him on this delay. 08/13/2018 Received complaint information from Cesar R. Text Dave Larsen from the ER cell FLORIDO phone telling him to let me know when he will be done with the clean-up today so that I may verify prior to backfill. Called Dave Larsen at noon to get an update on the clean-up. Dave said he was just about to arrive to the site to begin cleaning. Dave stated he will let me know when I should leave the office to the site to verify the clean-up. Received a call from Dave Larsen at 2:52 pm that I should head to the site. Arrived on site with Kashif Ali and witnessed a large area of soil excavated adjacent the pole transformer on the south side of Lone Tree Rd. about 1/2 mile east of Wagner Rd. Dave had excavated enough soil to fill one roll-off bin. A small area of soil still had some oil staining. Dave continued excavated until there was no more oil staining in the area. The excavation of the mineral oil spill is complete. According to Dave, a sample from the transformer oil was taken for analysis. White stains from the spilled milk were also observed in the soil along the shoulder of Lone Tree Rd. The milk staining ran about 50 ft. west of the excavation. Left site. 08/16/2018 Drove to site to witness cleanup. Two to three inches of topsoil was removed from RUVALCABA the affected area. No evidence of remaining milk was observed. The removed soil was placed in a trailer to be hauled to a designated dump. Arrangements had been previously made, per Frank Amara, owner of Superior Truck Lines. JoAnn Oliveira was onsite. JoAnn is with Winton-Ireland, Strom & Green Insurance Agency. (209) 667-0995 joliveira@wisg.com Received copy of CHP report. Responsible party identified. Called responsible party and obtained billing address 07/11/2019 Per accounting's request called the responsible party since the bill has been unpaid. Called Tom Lindsey, owner of Titan Fence. His brother Sidney Lindsey was operating the vehicle that according to the CHP report, caused the accident. Tom stated that he has been receiving the bills and that he has been forwarding them to his insurance company. Tom stated that he would give me the contact information for the insurance company. Tom believed that his brother was not responsible for the accident. It was pointed out that the department does not make the determination and that the CHP accident report clearly lists Sidney Lindsey as the cause of the accident. Tom stated that the insurance company is fighting that claim. Tom was reminded that the EHD is not involved in those matters and that the insurance companies would have to figure that out. If the insurance company came to a different conclusion then they would figure who pays what. In the meantime the billing will continue. RUVALCABA 5105 rpt Page 2 of 2
