Complaint Investigation Summary Report #: 5105 COMPLAINT ID: C00051676 Site Location: 5100 HVVY 12 Activity Summary Activity Date 02/25/2020 Cont'd from day. 5:00 PM Met with Tony Alegre, owner of Frank C. Alegre Trucking, and his son Andress Alegre. Tony Alegre granted access to the property for complaint investigation, however, he did not consent to photos or samples. Tony, Andress, and I went to the spill area in the back of the lot. I observed brownish oily liquid standing and not actively flowing over approximately 100 feet of the concrete gutter that leads to the storm drain. There was visible dark oily staining at the storm drain. Tony, Andress, and I then walked to the retention pond which is about 100 feet West of the storm drain and spill area. I did not observe any oily staining or dark oily liquid exiting or surrounding the retention pond's inlet. The ballast beneath the inlet did not have an oily sheen. During the inspection, Tony Alegre changed his mind and allowed me to take one sample of the brownish oily liquid from the concrete gutter and to take a picture of the sample. After leaving the retention pond, we went back to the spill area. Henry Rotor, Frank C. Alegre's Safety Director was at spill area and had already applied absorbent pads and absorbent over the brownish oily liquid area. He left one section about 20 feet east of the storm drain without an absorbent pad for the purpose of sampling. I collected a sample of the brownish oily liquid from the spill area previously set aside without an absorbent pad. Using a scoop, I poured the brownish oily liquid into a 16 oz glass jar. I labeled the jar to document my name, date, time, the location of sample. I took photos, placed the sample in an ice chest with ice, and completed the chain of custody. Henry Rotor then applied absorbent over the remaining brownish oily liquid spill area. I completed a Notice to Abate and emailed to Henry Rotor at: Henry@alegretrucking.com per Tony Alegre's request. The site condition when I left was: the brownish oily liquid was still covered with absorbent pad and absorbent pads. 7:18 END 02/25/2020 4:18 PM Left EHD for complaint investigation. 4:44 PM Arrived at destination.
