SAN -JOAQUIN <br />COUNTY <br />Environmental Health Department <br />WASTE DISCHARGE/SPILL RESPONSE <br />NOTICE TO ABATE <br />Responsible Party: RAMOS OIL COMPANY CORP Date: Nov 12, 2021 <br />RP Mailing Address: PO BOX 401 Record ID#: COPOYHLBX <br />WEST SACRAMENTO, CA 95691- Program Element: 2546 <br />Spill Location: 8925 THORNTON , THORNTON <br /> Release/Spill Response (excluding Joint Team) <br />NATURE OF WASTE DISCHARGE/WASTE RELEASE: <br />Approximately 15-gallons of red dye diesel discharged onto concrete and into catch basin as a result of customer overfilling <br />tank wagon. <br />OBSERVATIONS: <br />Site visit on 11/12/2021 in response to spill report received for 15-gallons of red dye diesel discharge. Fremouw <br />Environmental Services was on site upon arrival. Met with Tua Lino, Project Manager with Fremouw Environmental. Walked <br />with him and looked inside both catch basins, the 3 interceptor sumps and the storm drain in the middle of Walnut Grove. <br />The western catch basin was the only sump that appeared to be impacted from the spill. The eastern catch basin contained <br />a small amount of liquid but no sheen or odors. The first interceptor sump, furthest from the storm drain, had a small amount <br />of sheen but no sheen was observed in the other 2 interceptor sumps closest to the storm drain. Per Tua, based on the <br />connections of the catch basins and his observations, he does not believe the sheen observed in the first interceptor sump <br />is related to the spill. The storm drain bottom was wet but sheen or odors were not observed. <br />Absorbent sand was observed around the concrete tank pad around dispenser 7A and dispenser 6 toward western catch <br />basin. Absorbent sand was also observed going toward the eastern catch basin but did not reach it. Both catch basins had <br />absorbent booms placed around it. Staining is still visible around the tank pad and around the western catch basin. Per Tua, <br />the concrete will be power washed, the catch basins will be jetted and the liquid from the jetting will be vacuumed up and will <br />not reach the storm drain or the interceptor sumps. All waste will be hauled away by Fremouw Environmental Services. The <br />fueling station has been taped off with cones and caution tape and the entrance and exit to facility have been blocked with <br />cones and caution tape. Fremouw Environmental is awaiting another truck to begin the clean-up process. <br />Please be advised that the disposal of any waste [HSC 5411] or disposal of any hazardous waste, or the causing thereof, is <br />prohibited when the disposal is at a facility that is not permitted or authorized for hazardous waste disposal.
