Site Location 1020 E CHURCH ST District 001 - VILLAPUDUA, MIGUEL STOCKTON, CA 95205 Location Code 01 - STOCKTON Cross Street S UNION ST APN 15128003 0 1 - Complaint Status: r cs pc - i COT C TQl CG r fec-td Date Abated : - Abated By: Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 02/21/2022 Received a page from the hospital at approximately 8:19am regarding a PRESTO transformer spill as a result from a building fire. Called reporting party, PG&E, Caren Wilhoit who stated approximately 15-gallons of non-PCP transformer oil was released after a powerline fell from a building fire. Per Caren, the fire was at approximately 1:30am 2/21/2022, the release did not affect any storm drains and sampling will not be conducted as the transformer was installed and manufactured in 2001 unless their field investigation warrants sampling. Two transformers fell onto the ground but only 1 released oil. Per Caren the fire department will be knocking down the building and Patriot Environmental Services is on site for clean up. Called lead senior Garrett Backus for assistance on fire. Arrived on site at approximately 9:30am. Spoke with David Munoz, PG&E Foreman on site. He walked me to the transformer that spilled. He stated that PG&E will be taking the transformer back to the PG&E Yard at 4040 W Lane, Stockton. Patriot is on site with their recovered wastes from the clean up. Spoke with Scott Murtishaw, Project Manager with Patriot Environmental Services. They pumped out the transformer and washed the gutter. They generated seven drums of non-RCRA hazardous waste liquid. The wastes will be taken back to the PG&E Yard at 4040 W Lane. Six of the drums were full and one drum was approximately half full. The building is still leaking water due to broken water lines. Per Scott the transformer oil has been cleaned up. Spoke with Erik Patten, Stockton Fire Battalion Chief. The cause of fire was unknown but suspects that a male started the fire. The male suspect was standing on a platform on the building with a gun. The suspect then threw the gun into the fire and jumped in. Per Erik, the suspect disappeared into the fire and his current status is unknown. Oil was observed in the gutter, but it is uncertain where it originated from as the building has a broken water line and is continuously leaking. Walked down to the nearest storm drain and observed a slight sheen. Unable to verify if the sheen was from the transformer or from liquid escaping from the building. The debris in the gutter was blocking flow to the storm drain. Surface clean-up was adequate as pertaining to the transformer. Called lead senior back with update. Upon leaving the site, the front of the building has been removed and the fire department was hosing down the building. Called Richard Stifler with City of Stockton Storm to inform him of the fire and slight sheen observed into the storm drain. Called program coordinator, Melissa Nissim, to inform her of possible injury. Ennailed Public Health Officer and Public Information Officer notice of possible injury at the fire. Created complaint. Emailed inspection report to Caren Wilhoit, C2wb@pge.com. Per Caren, she is covering for Alex Steele for the holiday and she will forward him the report. 51 05. rpt Page 1 of 2
