Several patches of <br /> dark staining were observed around the fuel station. The fuel contractor, Stockton Petroleum, used absorbent to contain <br /> and clean up the spill on the asphalt. Per Lori Toccoli, president of Stockton Petroleum,the absorbent was taken back to <br /> the Stockton Petroleum service yard for storage as hazardous waste until it can be transported to the San Joaquin County <br /> Household Hazardous Waste facility for disposal. Lori said that the spill occurred because of a broken clock gauge on the <br /> tank. Lori estimated that 2 quarts of diesel was released based on how much fuel was left in the truck. <br /> Absorbent and staining was observed around the oil-water separator(OWS)drain in the middle of the fuel station. <br /> Saturated absorbent was observed in the OWS drain. <br /> Per California Health and Safety Code 25160(b)(3), the disposal of any hazardous waste, or the causing thereof, <br /> isprohibited when the disposal is at a facility which is not permitted or authorized for hazardous waste disposal. <br /> Immediately clean the OWS drain and examine the system/connected piping to ensure that no diesel flowed into the sewer <br /> line.
