SAN JOAQUIN _ NTY Environmental Health Department Time In: Time Out: COMPLAINT INSPECTION REPORT Name of Facility: ARAMARK UNIFORM & CAREER APPAREL, LLC Date 08/26/2021 Address: 7679 LONG ST, STOCKTON Owner/Operator: COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN Telephone: Program Element: 2546- RELEASE/SPILL RESPONSE (EXCLUDING JOINT TEAM) Complaint #: COHJIVVYFO Responsible Party Contact: AARON SPEHLING DESCRIPTION OF COMPLAINT ALLEGATIONS The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department received the following complaint: CE-CL (conditionally exempt commercial laundry) permitted facility reported that approximately 250-gallons of fresh water from their fresh water tank located in their boiler room overspilled and flowed out of the boiler room toward a plugged storm drain. No waterways were affected. Clean up of overspilled water is in progress. OVERALL INSPECTION NOTES AND COMMENTS NOTES Conducted a site visit on 8/25/2021 in response to spill notification received on 8/25/2021 regarding the water tank. While on site, spoke on the phone with Aaron Spehling, General Manager, and confirmed water in the overspilled tank is tap water from the City of Stockton. Aman Singh, Production Supervisor, walked us to the boiler room. At the boiler room entrance water can be seen at the entrance puddles on the eastern side, and larger pools in the center and southwestern corner of the room. The water tank is located in the southwest corner. On the eastern side of the boiler room, water was observed under two blue 55-gallon plastic drums of Nalco 359 (Diethylethanolamine), and 2 blue <50-gallons plastic containers of Nalco NexGuard 22310. The water tank is located the southwestern corner of the boiler room. Absorbent and black sludge was observed around the base of the tank. Aman walked us outside in where the water flowed toward a plugged storm drain. Per Aman the storm drain isblocked. The water pooled on top of the plugged storm drain. The water was in the process of being pumped out from the ground and into a plastic tote. According to the facility, the tote will then be poured into their waste pit. The liquid in the waste pit is treated onsite prior municipal discharge. The water that flowed from the boiler room toward the pool of water above the storm drain has dried but the pathway can still be seen. Part of the waters pathway toward the pool of water has a residue seen on the surface and sludge is also seen around a more dried water path. The pH was taken of the water in above the storm drain by Manager, Peter. The pH read 6.64. On 8/26/2021, spoke with Aaron on the phone. According to Aaron approximately 250-gallons of water were discharged from the tank. All clean-up has been completed. Approximately 250-gallons of the waste water were added to the waste pit for treatment. The absorbent and sludge were placed in the waste pit for treatment aswell. The waste pit has a shake screen that separates the solids from the liquids so the liquid can be treated before returning to the city. The solids are collected and pressed to release any remaining liquids for treatment. The remaining solids in the screen are hauled away. The pH of the water in the boiler room was measured at 6.3. EHD received photos from Aaron showing overview of the parking lot and of the drain with the valve closed. Standing water is visible from the photo of the drain. Provide statement to EHD ensuring all standing water is removed from the storm drain basin and disposed of appropriately and no waterways were affected as a result of this spill.
