2.1.1 Narrative
ERRS crew working at the nearby Rome Powerhouse site checked boom points for collected oil periodically beginning on 05/16/2014. Any oil that had collected was removed manually and containerized in drums. Booms were removed from the creek on May 21, 2014. The underflow dam was removed on 05/22/2014 as flow was beginning to overtop and compromise the dam. On 5/28/2014 The staging area at the water treatment plan was seeded and strawed and all equipment (boom and drummed waste) was removed from the site. On 06/06/2014 the drums of oily waste were transported to the disposal facility. On 06/18/2014 the vac box contained oily liquids was transported to the disposal facility.
