The spill occurred at the construction site of the GCC Rio Grande, Inc. Portland cement <br />manufacturing facility and associated limestone quarry. As the facility is still under construction, cement <br />production activities have not yet started. This spill was reported this morning to the Colorado Department of <br />Public Health and Environment and has been assigned Spill Report #2007-08-03 by the Department. <br />The incitlent occurred on October 1, 2007 at around 1;30 pm and involved the spilling of approximately 25 - 30 <br />gallons of hydraulic fluid during warranty maintenance work being performed on a piece of mobile equipment by a <br />vendor. GCC personnel responded immediately containing the spilled hydraulic fluid to the immediate area. <br />Absorbent pad materials from a nearby spill cleanup kit that were used for cleanup of the spilled hydraulic fluid. <br />These spill cleanup materials and a small amount of dirt exposed to the spilled hydraulic fluid were placed into <br />plastic bags. GCC will make arrangements to have these materials removed from the site by a contractor <br />licensed to perform this type of work. <br />No spilled material entered any surface waterways. Also, no spilled material left the permit area. <br />If you have question regarding this notice, please don't hesitate to call me at (719) 232-7130. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Brian McGill <br />GCC Pueblo Plant <br />GCC Rio Grande, Inc. <br />10/2/2007 <br />
