Re: Oil Spill on May 29, 2019
Mr. Reed,
On the morning of Wednesday, May 29, 2019, SEIREN North America experienced a spill of
approximately 500 gallons of heat transfer oil at the facility located at 1500 East Union Street,
Morganton NC. The spill happened in conjunction with a fire that occurred in the boiler room
located near the western side of the main building. A timeline of events can be found in
Appendix A of this report.
Due to heat from the fire, multiple sprinkler heads were fused open, mixing fire protection
water with heat transfer oil that had escaped from the hot oil system. Prior to the fire being
completely extinguished, the mixture of heat transfer oil and fire protection water exceeded
the capacity of the boiler room containment structure, and began to overflow onto the
surrounding impervious surface and into several nearby stormwater drains. A copy of the
property stormwater flow diagram is located in Appendix B of this report.
All of the oily water mixture was contained on Seiren property, and no contamination reached
the receiving stream adjacent to the property. Further containment measures were
implemented immediately, and remediation is in process. Further details regarding the
ongoing remediation are outlined in Appendix C of this report.
If you require any further action on the part of 5eiren North America, please do not hesitate to
contact me at [phone] ext. 1047 or at [phone].
Thank you,
Kevin Heape

Appendix C: Remediation Measures
Upon discovery of slight oil contamination migrating into drainage ditch near NE corner of
property, oil containment booms were placed in the ditch and an underflow dam was
constructed (Fig. 1).

In order to ensure further protection in the event of a significant rainfall, the height of the
earthen dam at the outfall of the holding pond was increased by an extra foot (Fig. 2). STAT,
Inc. constructed a road down the embankment to the outfall of the holding pond to accomplish
this.

Construction of the underflow dam at the outfall of the holding pond was completed on May
30, 2019 (Fig. 4). Additional oil containment booms were placed downstream of the outfall.

Prior to final washing of impervious surfaces surrounding Boiler Room and flushing
underground piping, a second underflow dam was constructed in the drainage ditch at the NW
corner of the property as an additional precaution (Fig. 5).
Figure 5: Second underflow dam constructed in drainage ditch on NE corner of property
All concrete surfaces which had been in contact with oil contamination have been cleaned
utilizing oil soak pads and pressure washers. Following this, drains have been flushed to
remove residual oil.
All grass, dirt, and gravel surfaces which had been in contact with oil contamination have been
scraped clean by utilizing oil soak pads, skid steers, excavators, and shovels. Where oil -stained
gravel was removed, new gravel will be installed.
To remove the oil from the holding pond on Seiren property, the pond will be drained, and the
floor of the pond will be scraped clean. At that time, a 5TAT, Inc. geologist will test the
remaining soil to ensure all oil residue has been removed. It is estimated that this entire
process will take 1-2 weeks.

Subject: Emergency Inspection at Seiren America LLC
Sta n,
After being informed by Linda Wiggs (DWR) that a spill had occurred at the Seiren facility (NCG170400, 1500 E Union
Street, Morganton). A site inspection was performed. Linda Wiggs and myself arrived on site at 4:15 pm on May 29,
2019. We initially met with Cecil Huffman (Burke County), Mike Willis (Burke County) and Gary Sparks (STAT). We then
met with Kermit Hollman (Seiren) and Kevin Heape (Seiren).
When we arrived on site, STAT was pumping out the large basin on the South side of the facility. Oil was visible in the
pond. I walked down to where the stormwater pipe entered the pond and found it to be 50% submerged.
We went to where the fire had happened and found that there was a large amount of oil still visible around the spill site,
in the grass, and being carried to the stormdrains by a brief rainfall that occurred while on site.
We observed oil residue in the drainage channel leading North from the facility as well, to the second outfall. It was
communicated to Mr. Heape that measures are needed to prevent further migration of that material off site.
The description given of the spill by Mr. Heape is the following:
1) At 10:30 am a large oil tank used for heat transfer (Chevron 22) began leaking from a connection inside the
facility.
2) Personnel in the facility went to turn the power off to the tank, and for a reason not quite understood at this
point, shutting off the power started a fire.
3) 6-8 sprinkler heads then opened for a duration of —30 minutes filling the area with water and oil, resulting in the
spill.
4) The oil/water mix made its way to at least 3 storm drains and a drainage ditch.
5) The tank that drained out has a total capacity of 500 gallons.
6) The stormwater basin never discharged (confirmed during the inspection).
7) STAT will be removing the spilled oil from the pond, and contaminated soils will be removed from the spill area.
After getting a description of the events, Mr. Heape and myself walked down to the outlet end of the basin and
confirmed that no water or oil residue was visible in the spillway.
I confirmed with Mr. Heape that he was aware of all reporting requirements in the permit, and he will be submitting a
report to the department as required by the permit.
I will be following up with Mr. Heape in the coming days to confirm the situation on site. A follow up inspection will be
performed next week if possible.
Thanks,
Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Pictures from the inspection are available at T: 4 Regional Offices 4 ARO

Inspection Summary:
Mr. Will Fritz, Ms. Wanda Waters, and Mr. Tracy Ray assisted the inspector during the site visit. The site does not
conduct vehicle maintenance activities.
The site map should be updated to include all drainage areas, labeled outfalls, potential pollutants in each drainage area,
and the site map must be to scale. The plan is required to be updated annually. The annual update should include a
review of the responsible persons to make sure that the appropriate people are identified.
The outfall at the entrance to the facility is heavily impacted with sediment. The source of the sediment should be
evaluated and stabilized.
