machine to location of spill
• Determine cause of blockage
• Assessment of other equipment needed
• Get wastewater flowing
• Clean area and remove debris- rake and lime area if
not near branch, stream or river
S Have steam plant call down call list to locate help if
needed
• Repair line failure if required other than blockage
• If spill is of reportable volume contact DWQ

methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
to the least possible voltunc.
2) If the pumps on the location are not operating file control panel
should be checked for;
a. Power ON?
b. Check breaker.
e. Breaker closed, check thermal overloads, (External button).
d. Overload good, Check fuses, if you are trained to do so.
e. Is pump straining? (Clogged with debris?)
f. Do you smell a burnt motor?( contact vendor from list)
g, Call for Electrician. (From attached list.)
3) Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks.)
b. I Iolcs of pits. I o prevent run o11'to surface waters.)
