The site is SW of San Antonio near Macdona, Bexar County, Texas. Weather remains sunny and hot, and the site has dried considerably. Dust may become an issue.
Deployed additional air monitoring units in coordination with CTEH efforts. Enhanced monitoring grid is in place and functioning as expected.
In the daily UC briefing, UP reported that the scrubber system could not be repaired and was removed from the site at 2000 hours last night. Vapor recovery continues via the jet pump system into a frac-tank being used as a reaction vessel. The resulting solution is sent to Oxy for processing. Preliminary reports from Oxy are that the load contained 2.5 tons of reacted chlorine. The potential rate of processing is under evaluation.
Due to potential system instability, residents in five homes in the immediate area will remain evacuated until the transfer is complete and the area can be declared safe.
Made formal written request for all CTEH data related to site activities.
Updated the Incident Command Structure (ICS) to reflect personnel changes.
TCEQ is pursuing release data for the various materials involved, and coordinating sampling and removal efforts with UP.
A joint CTEH & START Team will continue to conduct clearance inspections of remaining evacuated residences. The surveys will include natural resource damage assessments.
Continue 24-hr. air monitoring.
