1.1.1 Incident Category Emergency response to assess free product encountered while City of Toledo was repairing a storm sewer slumped area on the east side of Secor Road. Concern was that unknown product would eventually enter into a navigiagable water of the United States.
1.1.2 Site Description Project area was the intersection of Secor Road and West Sylvania Avenue. This area has historically been the location of gasoline or repair shops at each corner. Currently only a Shell station currently exists on the NE corner of the intersection.
1.1.2.1 Location The project area is located at the intersection of Secor Road and West Sylvania Avenue, Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio. Product was initially indentified by the Toledo City Inspector coming from the SE corner of the intersection where currently a cell phone store called Millenium is located, at 3944 Secor Road.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat Release of unknown oil thought to be kerosene to navigiable waters of the United States.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results Initial containment and recovery was done by the City of Toledo. They boomed off a catch basin and a lateral line to the Main sewer line to the west to contain the release. The lateral line from catch basin (CB) 78-352b was blocked off but there was still some flow of product to the catch basin to the west CB 78-352. CB 78-352 was also boomed off and samples were collected by Ms. Haley S. Haggard of City of Toledo, Department of Public Utilities, Division of Environmental Services.
Booms are being monitored and release appeared to be contained for the current period.
Road work along Secor is planned to continue on Monday, May 17, 2010 to remove an old, abandoned clay sewer line along Secor Road thought to be causing the road slumping. USEPA will provide oversight to document and assist the City of Toledo if any additional contamination or releases are encountered.
