SUBMITTED VIA SERTS WEB FORM REF # 4002
TRUCKING COMPANY WAS FILLING AN ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK WITH AQUA AMMONIA (19% NH3). TANK READOUT SHOWED ONLY 80% FULL. TANK HAS OVERFLOW THAT DRAINS INTO SECONDARY CONTAINMENT BUT THE OVERFLOW FAILED. AMMONIA BACKED UP INTO CONTROL BUILDING ADJACENT TO TANK AND FLOWED OUT OF DRAIN AND OUT THE DOOR INTO THE PARKING AREA WHERE IT THEN TRAVELED TO THE STORM DRAIN THAT IS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE TANK. ATTENDANT NOTICED THE SPILL FLOWING FROM THE DOORWAY AND TURNED OFF THE PUMP BUT NOT BEFORE AT LEAST 30 GALLONS OF AMMONIA HAD MADE IT INTO THE STORM DRAIN. A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS USED TO FLUSH THE REMAINING AMMONIA OFF OF THE BLACKTOP AND INTO THE STORM DRAIN. THIS STORM DRAIN MEETS THE WATER COOLING DISCHARGE FOR THE PLANT AND THEN DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO THE WI RIVER AT THE END OF WISCONSIN AVENUE IN THE CITY OF STEVENS POINT. WARDEN SCHARBARTH ARRIVED AT THE STORM WATER DISCHARGE POINT ON THE WI RIVER AT APPROXIMATELY 1540 HOURS. SCHARBARTH IMMEDIATELY NOTED SEVERAL SMALL PANFISH DEAD AND DYING IN THE AREA. SCHARBARTH AND OBREMSKI WALKED THE EAST SHORE OF THE RIVER TO THE SOUTH AND NOTED SEVERAL DEAD AND DYING FISH ALONG THE SHORELINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 YARDS DOWNSTREAM. NO FISH WERE OBSERVED BEYOND THAT POINT. THE MAJORITY OF THE FISH WERE SMALL PANFISH (BLUEGILLS AND CRAPPIES) BUT SCHARBARTH ALSO FOUND A LARGE MOUTH BASS, A SMALL MOUTH BASS, AND SOME MINNOWS. TOM KENDZIERSKI SPOKE WITH SCOTT OBREMSKI AT NEW PAGE ON 10/23/2008. KENDZIERSKI DISCUSSED CONCERNS ABOUT PREVENTING FUTURE SPILLS FROM THIS AMMONIA EQUIPMENT AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE POSITION OF THE STORM DRAIN IN PROXIMITY TO FUTURE SPILLS. OBREMSKI TOLD KENDZIERSKI THAT THEY WOULD BE CONDUCTING A FORMAL FAILURE ANALYSIS AND WOULD FORWARD A SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS AND ANY PREVENTIVE ACTION THAT MAY RESULT FROM THAT. OBREMSKI SAID THE POSITION OF THE STORM DRAIN WOULD BE PART OF THE ANALYSIS, THAT HE |
