compressed air system and is piped into the receiver tank, <br /> adjacent to the drum. A small amount of oil does end up in <br /> the water. The drum had been used at one time to collect the <br /> water when the tank needed to be drained. Unfortunately, <br /> over time, the logic was lost and rather than drain the tank <br /> and empty the drum, the valve between the tank and the drum <br /> was left open so that they didn't have to do anything until <br /> both the tank and the drum were full. Obviously, even then, <br /> the drum was allowed to overflow. <br /> We are in the process, at this time, of draining the <br /> receiving tank and removing all of the contaminated soil in <br /> that area and around the day tanks (see photos enclosed) . As <br /> we discussed, this soil will be included with the soil that <br /> was removed in conjunction with the oil tank spill. The <br /> receiving tank will be piped directly to the basement. The <br /> piping will be completed no later than April 1. Thus, the <br /> water will be used in the process and there will be no need <br /> to drain the tank or even have a drum. The small amount of <br /> oil involved will be insignificant in the process, mixed with <br /> the 500, 000 gallons of water that we use each day. <br /> If you need any further, information please feel free to give <br /> me or Dave Baker a call. <br /> Sincerely, `1 <br /> Mich Rogge °v <br /> Regional Environmental Director <br /> Newark Paperboard Mills <br />
