1.1.1 Incident Category
Emergency response to provide assistance to local and state responders to assess contamination encountered due to tornado damage throughout the townships of Moline, Lake, and Millbury, Wood County, Ohio. Local and state responders documented oil was being discharged to Ayers Creek and possibly other navigable waters of the state.
1.1.2 Site Description
Project area is the storm water sewer system that runs parallel to Moline Martin Road in Lake Twp. Ohio and empties into Ayers Creek a tributary to Crane Creek and the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.
1.1.2.1 Location
The response area is located along Moline Martin Road and the storm sewer outfall east of Lemoyne Road that empties into Ayers Creek. Product was initially discovered following the initial assessment of damage after the tornado by the local ICS Command Structure and in conjunction with an Ohio EPA OSC.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
A discharge of diesel fuel and other petroleum based oils to navigable waters of the state were documented.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Initial containment of oil was performed by the Sunoco Emergency Response Team (Sunoco). Sunoco is not a PRP and has no facilities in the area. Sunoco voluntarily responded to the disaster area to offer support. Oil recovery operations were initiated by a contractor hired by the Incident Commander under the locally established ICS Command Structure. Placement of absorbent boom within multiple storm sewer manhole locations along Moline Martin Road, in conjunction with hard boom, absorbent boom, and vacuum truck skimming activities at the first emerging storm sewer outfall east of Lemoyne Road. Additionally, absorbent boom and hard booms were placed immediately north and south of the Conrail tracks within Ayers Creek and a fourth hard boom and absorbent boom location north of the bridge at Ayers Road and Township Road 67.
Hard and absorbent booms along with vacuum truck skimming locations are being monitored and continuously evaluated. The discharge is contained for the current period and additional assessment continues.

2.1.1 Narrative
Ohio EPA and the IC have asked for USEPA assistance in responding to the discharge of oil. USEPA has assumed containment and clean-up efforts and coordinating with local emergency planning and mutual aid agencies to mitigate pollutants within the tornado damaged areas. USEPA will provide assistance until conditions are stabilized and threat of releases or discharges to navigable waters and surrounding areas has been eliminated, or if additional sources or releases are identified during area assessments and surveys.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
USEPA, Ohio EPA, START and ERRS were mobilized on 6-06-10 to assess and mitigate the situation and develop a plan to address the discharge to the local storm sewer and tributaries of Crane Creek Watershed.
USEPA continues to monitor and evaluate boom locations, conduct reconnaissance surveys to identify any impacted areas downstream of operational areas, flush storm sewer system along Moline Martin Road that is up gradient of Ayers Creek to vacuum truck skimming location and continue to survey damaged areas that may contain hazardous materials which may pose an immanent or potential threat of discharge.
