Complaint Investigation Summary Report #: 5105 COMPLAINT ID: COWEOCWDQ Site Location: 705 W WEBER AVE Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 08/02/2021 Called Chris Magro (Stockton Marina) 323-613-5521. Asked for update on the MURO status of the boat and water. Chris reported no sheen or fuel odor is present. Towboat US will be raising the boat out of the water this morning. Site Visit during boat raising process: Received phone call from Chris stating that Towboat US have arrived. Went to the marina with Environmental Health Specialist Shewit Woldearegay (EHD) to witness boat raising, since fuel or oil may spill during the process. Arrived on-site, verified that no oily sheen or fuel odor were detected. Spoke to Phil (Towboat US Diver) who was in the water at the time. Phil stated that it may be another two hours til they raise the boat out of the water. The boat will be towed to 5 Star Marina, 345 N Yosemite St STE B, Stockton, CA 95203. I asked Chris Magro to notify me once they have raised the boat out of the water. Shewit and I left the site. Site Visit after boat was towed away: Received notification that the boat was out of the water from Chris Magro. Shewit and I went to the marina. TowBoat was no longer on-site. Chris Magro had left the site. We met with dock hand, Mike. Observed no fuel odor on-site. A small surface area of sheen was observed that was flowing toward the algae in the slip adjacent to Slip D3. Seven absorbent pads were place over the water. Mike stated that he will be working on another project, but will be checking on absorbent pads periodically, and actively steering the pads toward the sheen until all is absorbed. I let Mike know that we will need a disposal record for those absorbent pads and I will be in contact with Chris Magro. 08/19/2021 On August 9, I sent text to Chris Magro asking if the sheen and absorbent pads had been cleaned up. Chris responded that sheen was cleaned up and removed by TowBoat when they towed the boat. I responded letting him know I returned the same day after US TowBoat had left site. I observed some sheen and absorbent pads on the water's surface. I sent him two photos of the sheen and absorbent pads in the water and asked again if the sheen has been cleaned and what was done with the absorbent pads. Chris did not reply. MURO 08/26/2021 08-26-2021: Sent email to Chris Magro. Explained again that I observed absorbent MURO pads over the sheen on my site visit after Towboat US had raised boat and had left the marina. Requested photos of water from the slip with observed sheen on 8-2-21 and disposal records. 09/16/2021 Received request from John S. in accounting for responsible party mailing address MURO for this complaint. Called Chris Magro (Stockton Marina) received no response and his mailbox was full. Called Mark Patchen (boat owner) 209-606-0174 and asked for his address. Mark asked if he was going to receive a bill. I let him know that due to the observation of oily sheen upon the raising of the boat out of the water, the complaint becomes chargeable. He inquired how much money. I explained the billing process and reports involved. He is asking that the fees are waived as he is retired and on a fixed income. I let him know I will discuss with my leads. I also let him know that Chris Magro has not responded with waste disposal information. I let him know I need disposal records for the contaminated absorbent pads that were placed over the sheen in the water. I gave him the household hazardous waste facility phone number. 09/20/2021 Emailed Program Coordinator Melissa Nissim and Lead Senior Elena Manzo a MURO request to waive charges for the responsible party.
