US EPA Region 4 received a NRC Notification (#890188) reporting the release of approximately 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel to a ditch that runs into a unnamed creek. NC Outpost OSC was dispatched. The cause of the release was a single vehicle accident involving a tanker truck. The tanker truck was a A.T. Williams Oil Company Truck out of Winston-Salem, NC. The truck was carrying 9,000 gallons of diesel. The responsible party (RP) hired Eastern Environmental to conduct a emergency response. Eastern Environmental downloaded the diesel left on the tanker and estimated that 2,500 gallons was lost to the roadside ditch. Eastern Environmental mobilized a vac-truck, tanker, excavator and dump truck. A underflow dam was constructed to contain the spill, excavation of contaminated soil began, absorbant booms were placed downstream, active collection of diesel fuel using the vac-truck also was being done upon OSC's arrival.
