... Lodi Metal Tech, Inc. Chronology of Events Wastewater Release 8/24/2006 08/25/06 11:30 An employee of the City of Lodi named Richard arrived. It was soon apparent that he did not know the location of the sumps, so Richard indicated he would return after learning the sump locations. 08/25/06 13:15 Richard returned with another member of the City team who knew the situation. They showed Mr. Merrill the two sumps containing the released wastewater and, again, checked the third sump. It still was dry. Mr. Merrill was shown the corresponding sanitary sewer access into which the wastewater was to be pumped. They also noted that while traffic could easily pass at the Kelly St./E. Pine St. intersection, the pumping operation would adversely affect traffic at the Beckman Rd./E. Pine St. intersection. It was suggested that Mr. Merrill check the need for traffic management and an encroachment permit for the Beckman Rd./E. Pine St. intersection They also described the required cleaning process: • Pump the storm drain sump to the sanitary sewer, • Flush the storm sewer system from LMT storm drain#8 to the storm drain system sump being cleaned, • Pump the flush water from the storm drain sump to the sanitary sewer, • Repeat the process until the flush water coming in to the storm drain sump, and the water in the storm drain sump was clean. 08/25/06 13:30 Mr. Merrill drove to Jim Thorpe Oil and informed Jamie of the plan. Jamie immediately loaded his truck and went to the Kelly St./E. Pine St. intersection. Mr. Merrill then drove to LMT and directed Mr. Holt to start a fresh water flush into drain#8. Mr. Merrill then proceeded with the pump to the Kelly St./E. Pine St. intersection. Both trucks were positioned to protect the access hatches and traffic cones were placed. The released wastewater in the sump was pumped into the sanitary sewer. 08/25/06 13:50 The first flush of fresh water began draining into the storm drain sump. When the storm drain sump was nearly filled, its contents were again pumped into the sewer. As this was happening, Mr. Merrill drove to Lodi City Hall and went to the Public Works Department to inquire as to the need for an encroachment permit for Beckman Rd./E. Pine St. intersection. Mr. Merrill indicated that the southbound traffic on Beckman Rd. would not be able to cross E. Pine Street. Mr. Beeler was again consulted and it was determined that an encroachment permit and traffic management crew were needed. 5 of 6
