It is suspected that the tote may have washed down stream from a DOT work site during area flooding in the Fall of 2009. Tote contents were tentatively identified (HazMat ID) as a herbicide. Waste sample were collected by ERRS for laboratory analysis, identification, and disposal coordination. During the response, ERRS transferred product from the tote to two (2) 55-gallon poly drums and transferred the drums and tote across the creek to the south and to a staging area in the clearing next to the retention pond.
