Complaint Investigation Summary Report #: 5105 <br />COMPLAINT ID: C00052455 Site Location: 1535 E PESCADERO AVE <br />Activity Summary <br />Activity Date Recorded by <br />08/14/2020 8:49 am Received page from front desk for new complaint. MURO <br />A 10 - 15 gallon hydrobromic acid spill was reported by Tyler Beitling(Hazmat One) <br />at 1535 Pescadero Ave in Tracy. <br />I called Tyler at 800-229-5252. Tyler reported that the spill occurred due to a <br />forklift accidentally puncturing the container as it was being offloaded from truck <br />freight container. Ancon Services is on-site. No storm drains or water ways were <br />impacted. Received on-site Ancon Services foreman information. Alejandro <br />Samano, 510-293-8099. <br />Discussed with Haza Saeed and Stacy Rivera. <br />I called on site Ancon Services Site Foreman, Alejandro Samano. Alejandro said <br />they were still onsite. Advised that I go through the YRC truck entrance. <br />9:35 AM Left EHD and arrived at YRC at 10:17 AM. <br />Met with Ancon Site Foreman, Alejandro Samano. Alejandro stated that the <br />hydrobromic acid spill area was neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and verified <br />with pH test strips. Then, dry sweep was applied to entire neutralized area and <br />swept. All waste generated, dry sweep, PPE, wooden pallet, and card board was <br />placed into two 55-gallon drums. Remaining hydrobromic acid in the damaged 55 <br />gallon drum was over packed. I verified the pH over the asphalt to be 7 on the east <br />side of cleanup area and 6 on the west side of the cleanup area. Cleanup was <br />adequate. <br />Discussed waste disposition with Alejandro (Ancon) and Mark Murdock <br />(Distribution Center Manager at YRC) but was not getting clear answers. Mark <br />suggested I direct all questions to their environmental contact, Ruben.... <br />Spoke to Harold ....(YRC) who said the amount of hydrobromic acid was not 10 - <br />15 gallons. He was upset and said he would call Tyler (Hazmat One) and ask him <br />to update the amount. Harold believes only one gallon of hydrobromic acid was <br />spilled. <br />Received call from Toby Morelli (EHD) He told me that he received a call reporting <br />an update for the hydrobromic acid spill from 10 - 15 gallons to an exact amount of <br />5.2 gallons release. Toby updated the amount on the complaint 5104 report. <br />11:58 AM Arrived at EHD. <br />Updated responsible party information on complaint. <br />Reviewed photos of spill area before cleanup emailed to me from Alejandro <br />Samano (Ancon) alejandros@anconservices.com. <br />Generated a notice to abate and emailed to Ruben Byerley at <br />ruben.byerley@yrcfreight.com. I asked Ruben to provide an SDS sheet for the <br />product. I also requested hazardous waste determination and recovered <br />hydrobromic product disposition. <br />Note: There is an error on the Notice to Abate. I stated 52 gallons and 5.2 gallons. <br />The correct amount spilled is 5.2 gallons. <br />Completed a Hazardous Waste Emergency Response Record and Prop 65. Took <br />Prop 65 to lead senior Haza Saeed for review. Then took to Kim Blackwell (EHD) <br />for processing. <br />51 05. rpt Page 2 of 4
