O <br /> PILKINGTON <br /> June 7,2005 <br /> Subject: Corrections <br /> The following photos were taken on June 6, 2005 following a weekly test operation of the diesel <br /> engine. <br /> Over the several weeks before the photos were taken,the area had been cleaned and the <br /> absorbent material replaced. <br /> The waste streams collected in buckets on the south side were originally water and oil mixed. <br /> The waste streams are now kept separate and cooling water is collected in one bucket and the oil <br /> in the other. The oil bucket is also stored on a secondary containment pallet. <br /> The oil drips that had been collected in open pans under the rear main oil seal are now collected <br /> in containers having a built in funnel feature with a bottle cap sized opening in the center of the <br /> funnel. <br /> There are valves in the air galleries that had been left open during operation of the engine. This <br /> led to copious amounts of oil draining from the engine because the supercharger pressurized the <br /> air galleries and forced the oil out under pressure. These valves are only supposed to be opened <br /> when the engine is off to drain excess oil from the air galleries and closed prior to startup. The <br /> personnel operating the generator have been retrained in this operational step. <br /> In the oiler mechanic's shed,the oil was cleaned out of the oil storage container spill tray. <br /> Because the oil is thick(= ISO 460) absorbent pads were placed in the bottom of the tray to <br /> make it easy to see and clean up any spills. The oil was too thick and in spread out in too thin a <br /> layer to allow it to be pumped out of the tray. <br /> I certify that the above actions were taken and the attached photos are accurate and current. <br /> 4RogerBishop <br /> Pilkington North America Inc <br /> 500 East Louise Avenue Lathrop California 95330 <br /> Telephone 209 858 5151 Fax 209 858 2024 <br />
