Reference number for call was 394. SC 907 5:27PM Called the Sherriff's Office(209) 468-5091 back and spoke with Officer Matthew Sieperda who let me know Union Pacific has notified them about a spill at 1000 E Roth Rd. Lathrop, CA. The material that spilled was a half-gallon of methanol. Clean up will be done by their contractor. CalOES#: 19-2809 Reference number for this spill: 2019-04-29-249JMR Contact number: (888) 877-7267 5:30PM Called Union Pacific and with spoke Dennis McCabe. Verified that the release did not impact any storm drains or waterways and there were no exposures to any people. The release occurred due to a leak from a shipping container. The spill is contained and is being cleaned up by the contractor. 5:36PM Called Muni to check if there is any additional information I should ask before deciding if this a spill that needs to be responded to. Muni suggested calling Union Pacific to get more details about the cleanup contractor and how cleanup will be handled. 5:43PM Called Union Pacific's Hazardous Materials Manager Mike Algots (916) 580-9999 to gather more information. Mike had to take another call and said he would call me back later. 6:35PM Received a call back from Michael Algots who let me know that the material that was released came from a leaking tote with no hazardous materials ID in a trailer and it was not methanol. The amount released appears to be less than a half-gallon of a non-hazardous orange liquid substance called "Little Caesars 81 Orange" from the label that was found on the tote. The material did not get on the ground and it is almost like a solid. Patriot Environmental will be doing the cleanup. The responsible party is currently unknown, but will most likely be Union Pacific's Shipping Quality Department. The current plan is to clean up what has been released and wrap up the container to prevent it from leaking to be handled by Union Pacific's Shipping Quality Department. Mike gave me the contact information for Joe he contractor from Patriot who will be on site conducting the cleanup (916) 597-5520 6:39PM Called Muni back to relay the information that I have gathered and to check if there any additional information I should gather. 6:44PM Called Joe from Patriot Environmental to ask about the status of the cleanup per Muni to gather more information about how will the materials used for the cleanup be disposed of. Joe let me know that very little material was discharged and whatever was released was cleaned up with absorbent and scrapped up into a drum. The amount of waste generated from the cleanup is half a drum that will be stored inside of the trailer to be handled later as non-hazardous. 6:48PM Called Muni back give him an update on the information I have gathered. Per Muni there is no need to respond or generate a Notice to Abate for this spill because it is a nonhazardous material Page 1 of 5
