Key Issues
Vacuum truck from West Coast Marine drove off dirt road on site and became stuck. In process of pulling truck out, the fuel lines and saddle tank were punctured releasing 10 to 15 gallons of diesel. Response efforts minimized spill and diesel was removed from leaking tank. Soil was cleaned up and the spill reported to Ecology.
OSC interviewed by Quad City Herald - local newspaper.
USFW did not have data to support pigmy rabbit sighting and stated that EPA should be cautious when completing removal actions near the "corral area"
Vacuum truck from West Coast Marine released 3-5 ounces of oil from their hoses. Oil was not related to site, but from a previous job. ERRS cleaned up release and reported it to the state.
