1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
The Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) contacted On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) Spurlin regarding the Site. The State was concerned about the containers at the property. The State had an ongoing enforcement action for multiple violations at the facility; however, the owner was no longer responding to the State. The State provided photographs and site information that document the actual and potential release of hazardous substances at the Site sufficiently for the OSC to determine an emergency response was warranted at the Site. There were leaking drums and containers, suspected to contain hazardous substances, threatening to release into the environment and endanger public health.
