Operator Chris Creighton received the call and issued incident number 0217-2. A copy of the NC DEQ UST-62 24-Hour Notification of Discharge is provided in Appendix 2. Corrective Action: On February 17, 2023, at 1013 ET, HEPACO personnel arrived onsite and reported a 20-feet (ft.) by 45-ft. area of the asphalt parking lot, and a 6-ft. by 12-ft. area of a nearby concrete ditch/culvert-standing water area was impacted by an estimated 40-gallons of hydraulic fluid. HEPACO reported no soils or waterways were impacted by the release. HEPACO applied granular absorbents to the asphalt and concrete impacted areas then brushed in granular absorbent and solidified the hydraulic fluid. HEPACO utilized absorbent booms in the surface water area of the ditch to contain and absorb the release and a vacuum truck to recover impacted water. HEPACO recovered and containerized approximately 900 gallons of liquids and transported them offsite for disposal. HEPACO collected and containerized absorbents (solid waste) in four, 55-gallon steel drums and transported them offsite for disposal. Response photographs are provided in Appendix 3. Waste Disposal: On March 6, 2023, HEPACO transported the four drums to the GFL yard at 3618 US Highway 421 North Wilmington. The drums of non-hazardous solid waste (impacted absorbents) will be disposed of by GFL. the Liquid waste was transported to US Water Recovery in Goose Creek SC The waste disposal documentation is provided in Appendix 4. Conclusion and Recommendations: The release has been completely remediated and no evidence was found that suggests any significant environmental impact remains on the site. ERTS suggests that this project be closed, and no further remedial action be taken. ERTS and GFL Waste Industries LLC appreciate your assistance in this matter.
