Complaint Investigation Summary Report #: 5105 COMPLAINT ID: COBAEBAAH Site Location: 1033 W CHARTER WAY Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 07/05/2020 8:59 AM Responded to page from SJGH 209-468-6000. Operator reported that MURO Adam Hemans (Stockton Fire Department) called to report 20 to 25 gallons of fuel released at 1033 W Charter Way in Stockton. Called lead senior Garrett Backus to discuss call. I called Adam Hemans 209-598-1241. Adam reported that a storm drain was impacted. A truck with a 40 gallon fuel tank was parked at the facility's parking lot. About 20 — 25 gallons of diesel released onto the asphalt. An unknown amount of diesel went into the storm drain. City of Stockton Municipal Utilities responded and is onsite. Absorbent was placed over the diesel spill area on the asphalt. The storm drain was diked off with absorbent. A container was placed under the damaged fuel tank. The system lines have been closed. City of Stockton attempted to plug the storm drain line but they determined they needed bigger plugs. No evacuation took place. The responsible parties are the property owner and the owner of the truck. 9:48 AM Arrived at 1033 W Charter Way, Stockton. Met with Harjeet Singh, owner of the truck with the damaged fuel tank. He did not know how the fuel tank was damaged. I explained the violations associated with the release of diesel and the notice to abate. I requested his information: Harjeet Singh, 209-662-5150, harrybmd@outlook.com, 8119 Mariners Dr. Apt 705, Stockton, CA 95219. I met with Brian Uribe, City of Stockton Municipal Utilities. Brian reported that the property owner was having trouble finding a cleanup contractor that is available today for the cleanup. Met with property owner. I explained the violations associated with the release of diesel and the notice to abate. I requested his information: Mike S. Boparai, 916-396-1665, vanco1033@outlook.com, 1033W. Charter Way, Stockton, CA 95206. Generated a complaint. Generated a Notice to Abate. Emailed Notice to Abate separately to Mike S. Boparai and to Harjeet Singh. Brian Uribe reported that Mike S. Boparai asked if he can clean up the diesel spill on the asphalt himself. Called lead senior Garrett Backus to update on status. Since the facility has a UST permit with EHD, they are trained to handle diesel spill cleanups and can do the surface cleanup. The storm drain and storm drain line will be cleaned up by a hazmat contractor as soon as one can be retained. Mike S. Boparai brought out several bags of absorbent. The absorbent was applied over the diesel spill area on asphalt. The amount of absorbent previously applied was not sufficient because some areas on asphalt were still left uncovered with absorbent. Mike S Boparai went to purchase more bags of absorbent in a nearby store, and applied over remaining diesel spill areas upon his return. The absorbent was allowed to absorb the diesel spill for approximately 50 minutes. Then two facility employees scrubbed absorbent with stiff brooms and collected into one 55-gallon drum and five plastic bags and labeled as hazardous waste. The contaminated absorbent in bags will be transferred into 55-gallon drums once Mike S Boparai can obtain them. Entire diesel spill area was cleaned with absorbent. No diesel odor was detected over the asphalt. No diesel puddling, sheen, or wet areas observed over the asphalt. Diesel spill area was deemed adequately cleaned over asphalt. Storm drain was covered with plastic and coned-off pending final cleanup. Brandon Espinoza (All Environmental) 209-648-8060 called to notify that they will 5105.rpt Page 2 of 6
