Complaint Investigation Summary Report #. 5105 COMPLAINT ID: CO5FPDOM1 Site Location: 1535 E PESCADERO AVE Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 10/07/2022 Called City of Tracy to inform them of a potential release into an oil-water PRESTO separator, left a voicemail. Called Ancon to check on if clean up has been completed. Per Roger, clean up completed around 3am, four 55-gallon drums of solid clean up debris and one 55-gallon drum of waste diesel fuel were generated and left on site for profiling. Received a page from the front desk. Received a phone call from Rameen who was getting more information on the spill report 22-5904 for 600-gallons at 1395 E Pescadero. Called and Rameen is with CalEPA. Discussed with her that I was going out today to check on the 600-gallon release as well as another release that was reported the same day a little down the street. The suspected responsible party for the 600-gallon release was listed as Wire C Trucking and the next spill report was for YRC Trucking. Similar sounding phonetically which could have been a misinterpretation on the CalOES side. Informed her that they may be related releases and our afterhours inspector did not observe any releases the 1395 E Pescadero but release was observed at 1535 E Pescadero. Arrived on site with Yohandrys Aguilar, Senior Maintenance Worker at City of Tracy Public Works Department. We inspected CalOES 22-5904 spill report at 1395 E Pescadero Ave together and went to YRC together after to inspect potential storm drain/ oil-water separator release. Met with Dan Lertora, YRC Safety who walked us to the release location. Chris Roy, the manager is at their Hayward location this morning but he was at the release at midnight and can call Chris for any questions. Walked to the shop and the release occured at Bay 5. The shop is where trucks get gas and can wash their windshields. YRC installed a meter to split gas from YRC and Reddaway. Per Dan though both companies fall under Yellow, they have to separate each business now for tax purposes so they have designated Bays for YRC and Reddaway. YRC is Bays 1-4 and Bays 5-6 are for Reddaway. the release at Bay 5 occu red due to a gasket at their meter to separate the YRC from Reddaway. The gasket and piping on the meter were repaired and clean up of the release was cleaned with absorbent by ANCON. Asked Dan if he was aware how much released. He said about 75 gallons as the pipes above hold approximately 75-100 gallons. Asked him about the oil-water separator. We walked to the oil-water separator but could not open the inside. Per Dan the strip drain was cleaned out by ANCON. Dan called Chris and she stated that the release never reached the oil water separator and the strip drain is dry leading to the oil-water separator. Per Chris the strip drain is angled toward the oil-water separator and can be seen dry at the last two Bays closest to the oil-water separator. Observed liquid ending at Bay 6. The rest of the strip drain at Bay 6 and down is dry. Asked Dan about a 600-gallon release that was reported before their 75-gallon release was reported. Per Dan he believes and employee or driver misreported the amount to CalOES but the release could not have been more than 100-gallons from their Bay due to the amount of fuel the pipes in the Bays hold. Called Rameen with CalEPA and provided her an update on the releases reported at E Pescadero. Informed her that the 600-gallon diesel release could not be verified and the 75-gallon was cleaned and per YRC believes the 600-gallon was mireported by an employee or driver. Called Fish and Wildlife and spoke with Warden Trish Yamaguchi and discussed with her the same information as was discussed with Rameen. 10/07/2022 Telephone ER update with REHS Carol Presto to verify clean up. NSO 10/10/2022 Entered narrative information from 10/7/2022. Saved photos into shared drive, PRESTO generated contact sheet, full page photos and photographic log. Printed and gave to area inspector with spill report received from clerical on Friday. 5105 rpt Page 2 of 3
