Cresson Projec ; —Response on potential hydrocarbon discharge"as a corrective action
follow up on the 17 June 2015 DRMS inspection
Dear Mr. Cazier:
CC&V is writing to you with regard to the following finding from the 17 June 2015 DRMS
inspection report issued on 24 June 2015:
INSPECTION TOPIC: Acid and Toxic Materials
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: A petroleum product spill(s) has/have
occurred at the site which has impacted soils, surface water or groundwater.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Operator shall immediately remediate the spill and submit a
final report to the Division containing at least a description of how the spill was cleaned up
(containing at a minimum — the appropriate maps, volumes removed, photo documentation, and
disposal) and provide a plan on how the Operator will prevent this issue from occurring again.
The plan may include a design modification in the secondary containment structure at the site of
the spill.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 7124115
CC&V has addressed the discharge of hydrocarbon to containment listed as a spill in the findings
of Elliott Russell's inspection report. As I explained to Elliott at the time the lubricant load out
area at the back of the warehouse is lined and so the dribs and drabs of hydrocarbon that build up
there between periodic clean outs of the sump cannot enter the environment. Please find
