HEALTH <br />P.O. Box 2009 PERM IT/aLr� �E <br />Stockton, Calif. 95201 <br />Dear Ms. Oz: <br />At 7:00 am Monday, May 4, 1992, an oil release was discovered <br />next to the #5 Fuel Oil pump pad at the back of our Libbey Owens <br />Ford Company Lathrop facility located at 500 E. Louise Ave, <br />Lathrop, Ca. The boiler operator immediately notified the <br />Technical Laboratory of the release. Fortunately, Petroleum <br />Recycling Corporation (PRC) was present at site to remove the #5 <br />Fuel Oil from its tank for replacement with diesel fuel as <br />was previously planned. it was decided to get a vacuum truck <br />from PRC to suction as much oil as possible off the soil. <br />Mr. Blake Lambert, president of Lambert Construction <br />Environmental was brought in by FRC to assist and provide <br />recommendations for clean up. <br />According to Libbey Owens Ford inventory, the oil tank contained <br />approximately 34,000 gallons of #5 Fuel Oil on Friday, May 1, <br />1992. On Monday, May 4th, PRC removed 22,530 gal. from the tank <br />following the release. Accordingly, approximately 11,470 gallons <br />was released to the soil. PRC vacuumed approximately 2,261 <br />gallons off the surface of the soil leaving approximately 9209 <br />gal. unaccounted for and likely contained in the soils within the <br />release area. The Petroleum Recycling Corporation (PRC) <br />transported all of the liquid oil to PRC Patterson in Patterson, <br />Calif. The State Manifest Document Number is 91691402. <br />Lambert Environmental initiated the excavation and stockpiling of <br />the contaminated soil on Monday, May 4th. The soil is being <br />placed on plastic and covered with plastic. The excavation will <br />continue until no visible contaminated areas remain. Sampling <br />will then be done in coordination with Ms. Patricia Leary of the <br />California Regional Water Quality Control Board in order to <br />confirm the clean up: , <br />The release appears to be the result of a broken seal on the <br />recirculation pump which was being operated to warm the oil in <br />O <br />PILKINGTON <br />
