Please accept this letter as Shurtape's written notification of the No. 2 fuel oil spill that
occurred on 5 August 2002. This letter is also in follow up'to the telephone notification made to
you on 5 August 2002.
At approximately 8 AM on 5 August 2002, employees at Shurtape's Stony Point facility
noted a leak of fuel oil in the concrete containment basin. Further investigation by Shurtape
personnel found the leakage to be coming from a supply line inside of a carrier pipe. The supply
line enters the stand by boiler through the carrier pipe under said boiler room. Upon opening the
sealed end of the carrier pipe to initiate inspection of the supply line, approximately 50 gallons of
No. 2 fuel oil was released into the concrete containment area. Approximately 25 gallons was
immediately pumped back into a 55-gallon drum. The remaining volume was spread out over an
area approximately 40 feet by 40 feet. Spill clean up operations were immediately initiated with
_ the initial volume being removed along with absorbent materials on 5 August 2002. Due to the
rough surface of the concrete and the presence of accumulated soil materials on the concrete,
additional absorbent was applied, covered with plastic, and held in place with 75-pound blocks of
rubber to prevent any penetration by moisture. The absorbent material was allowed to remain in
place until 9 August 2002 to facilitate removal of any further residual. On 12 August 2002, the
area was cleaned using a pressure washer and hydrocarbon converting soap. All materials
associated with the clean up operations have been properly manifested and shipped for disposal.
The area of the spill has been completely cleaned up with no further indications of remaining fuel
oil.
Based upon the above clean up efforts, Shurtape does not believe that a release to the
environment occurred. Shurtape is currently in the process of locating the necessary equipment
to visually inspect the carrier pipe from the -point of containment to the spare boiler room to
insure that a release to the environment did not occur.
