23IN000195 Narrative GKH Global Services HXIL9354 arrived at the destination hub- BNSF Stockton CA on 1/17/23, & was observed actively leaking a bright yellow paint like material on the railcar & along the side/underneath the trailer. The release was dripping at various rates & has released a total less than 4 gallons collectively. The trailer was immediately moved to the containment pit, with an environmental contractor dispatched to clean all affected areas. *IMPORTANT* As such, this is a shipper responsibility for improper loading/handling/securing cargo & the remediation costs are the responsibility of GKH Global Services. Contact Patriot Environmental at 800-624-9136 & reference HXIL9354 1/17/23 Stockton, CA for payment.

Ancillaries In accordance with BNSF's Intermodal Rules and Policies Guide, ancillary charges may apply to this shipment. An invoice, if applicable, will be generated to the shipper upon completion of the incident review. Leaker Disclaimer In addition, please be advised that some counties in the State of California will send BNSF Railway an invoice for their activity/handling/response charges associated with a leaking shipment. It is not uncommon for BNSF Railway to receive these invoices several months after incident occurrence, which will be promptly submitted to the appropriate shipper for payment. The shipper should contact the issuing county if they have any questions regarding the invoice charges. NOTE: With these current critical times in our transportation industry, I ask that you ensure your equipment is in acceptable condition & remind everyone to secure all cargo properly per BNSF requirements. Also do not exceed the weight limit of a shipment as outlined in the BNSF IR & PG.
