The accident caused the truck to crash through two fences <br /> and into he excavation. �of the truck's tanks were ruptured and spilled their entire contents <br /> into the excavation. <br /> I contacted Darlene Ruess of your office and Twila LeClerc of the <br /> andQif any <br /> Control Board, Central Valley Region to determine what should be one with h tar <br />'F be required to close the excavation. I was told by Twila LeClerc that <br /> additional work would <br /> because the tar is immiscible in water and had no volatiles, <br /> wok was required to the tar could be removed <br /> he <br /> disposed of at a Class III Landfill.
