RE: Accidental Release Event
Mr. Lawyer,
Upon arrival at the plant on the morning of December 26, we discovered that stored egg material had been spilled due
to a damaged check valve on a transfer line during the recent cold weather at our facility located at 1201 McKay Place,
Lillington, NC. Apparently, the check valve froze during the night and broke off from the line. Approximately five
thousand (5,000) gallons of egg had been released from our storage tanks, and the material flowed through our parking
lot and subsequently made it onto our neighbor's property which is owned by Harnett County. The accidental discharge
did not contain any pollutants other than egg residue. Due to the extremely low temperature, the spilled material froze
in the nearby stormwater ditch and did not enter any body of water.
We immediately hired Boyer Enterprises East for the spill cleanup. They contained the further flow of the spilled
material with booms and started vacuuming up the material using a vac truck. We know that 5,234 gallons have been
recovered. Since the recovered volume may contain standing water that was already in the stormwater ditch the final
recovery volume may exceed the quantity initially released. We also flushed the ripraps on our property while
vacuuming to clean any residue to prevent any future stormwater contamination. All recovered material was sent to
Brooks Contractor & Compost located In Goldston, NC.
We contacted a representative of the neighboring property owner, Mr. Drew Bryant and Mr. Carl Davis with the Harnett
County Parks Department, and both were comfortable with our remediation action. i was told it was not going to be
necessary for them to come out and inspect the condition of their property after the cleanup effort was completed.
Harnett County gave us the approval to continue cleaning up on their property.
With the cleanup completed, we will continue to observe our stormwater discharge during the next significant rainfall(s)
and evaluate if any additional cleanup effort will be necessary. Please contact me at blawson@isonovatech.com or
(803) 687-1504 or if you wish to observe the impacted area or have any questions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
r
