Absorbents were placed on the release and a clean up contract has been contracted to conduct clean up. OBSERVATIONS: On 11/12/2022, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) received a spill report for 10-gallons of diesel release. Called reporting party, Mike Masters, Corporate Compliance Manager with C&G Wholesale Grocers. Per Mike, the release occurred the 11/11/2022 but their contractor who had the release did not inform them of the release. Their staff placed absorbents on the release and informed Mike and a clean-up contractor was dispatched to conduct clean-up, Clean Earth. Received notification that clean-up was completed 11/12/2022 in the evening, generating 3 drums of solid and 3 drums of liquid waste, and photos will be coming soon. Photos were received 11/14/2022, per Mike he is actually sending out contractor again to do further remediation on the asphalt due to staining observed on the asphalt and staining in the dirt. The clean-up company could not dig further without a dig permit. Per Mike a dig permit has been applied for and excavation will be conducted after approval. He will let EHD know when additional clean-up is scheduled. Arrived on site today, 11/17/2022, to verify clean-up on asphalt. Met with Michael Serrano, US Ecology Field Service Project Foreman, and Tony Ram, C&S Wholesale Grocers Facilities Maintenance Supervisor. The impacted dirt was secured with cones. Per Michael, they cleaned the impacted asphalt with Simple Green degreaser, then with absorbent and finally powerwashed and drum vaccumed. The area was still wet from powerwashing upon arrival. Observed some sheen on the asphalt. Discussed the sheen with Michael and he said the asphalt has already lost the coating due to the diesel stain and since asphalt has oil in it already, there will always been a sheen that comes up when water is introduced. Some of the asphalt was already eroding due to the breakdown from the diesel release. Per Michael, more absorbent and power washing will not remove the sheen and he touched the ground to show it was no longer slick. Per Michael the sheen is not related to the diesel. US Ecology does not have concerns of diesel remaining on the asphalt needing additional remediation. 1 drum of solid waste and 3 drums of liquid waste were generated today. The drums will remain on site and will be hauled as hazardous waste at their next pick up. The final remediation needed is on the impacted dirt. Excavation will be conducted 11/21/2022.
