2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
Upon arrival on-scene, local fire/HAZMAT applied foam and water mist to reduce lower explosive levels (LELs). Local fire department accessed the area and over a two hour period closed valves to stop the flow of gasoline.
Under EPA and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) direction, Plantation Pipeline began recovery of pooled gasoline and water.
Due to elevated levels of benzene and periodic elevated LELs, excavation of saturated soils was delayed, until additional resources arrive onscene.
