This site was an emergency response to a transportation incident in Auburn, Washington. At 9:45 PM on 9/28/07 a Conway Freight truck pulling a tandem set of enclosed trailers made a very sudden stop as a traffic interaction with another large truck and a small passenger vehicle occured. A resulting spill of hydrochloric acid occured, and a potential for other hazardous materials release and reactions existed. EPA responded at the request of Auburn Fire Department for assistance. EPA conducted oversight of this PRP-lead removal action with no written order being issued. See PolRep #1 (First and Final) for more information.
