1.1.1 Incident Category
Emergency Response (preliminary recon)
1.1.2 Site Description
A fiberglass pool and spa manufacturing facility located on approximately 5 acres with brick/steel building-faciliy central feature. A 30 foot concete pad surrounds the main building. The west side of the building are curing stands that hold the finished product(s). The drum, in question, is located on the southwest corner of the concrete pad.
1.1.2.1 Location
162 Enterprise Drive
Rockingham, NC 28379
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Isolated 55-gallon (steel) drum on southwest corner of building on the concrete pad.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Drum in good condition with marginally legible labeling. At this time, situation does not pose an environmental or ecological threat per Section 300.415(b)(2) of the National Contingency Plan. The drum was not opened for investigation but, through indirect measures, the contents did not "shift" in the drum and appear to be solid or reacted-out polymer which would not pose a spillage or release theat. Per the MSDS, the contents are methyl methacrylate & styrene monomer (with cobalt blue pigmentation) used in the fiberglass production of the spa/pools.

2.1.1 Narrative
OSC Andrews and Steve Rieck (on detail to ERRB) conducted an assessment at the facility on February 24, 2010 to determine if further action by ERRB was warranted. The facility property was well maintained, clean and orderly. There was no indication of previous spills on the site. A single 55-gallon steel drum was found per the NCDENR report situated on the concrete pad on the southwest corner of the facility pad next to the curing stands. The drum had no containment, but the pad slopped toward the building. The drum was in good condition but labeling was faded. The OSC photo-documented the condition of the facility and gathered labeling information. Mr. Rieck contacted Cook Composites and Polymers Company and obtained an MSDS for the drum.
