AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM CAUSED A FIRE TO OCCUR IN A TRANSFORMER @ A POWER SUBSTATION. TWO TRANSFORMERS WERE INVOLVED IN THE FIRE, CAUSING A RUPTURE IN ONE TANK, SPREADING COOLANT ONTO THE GROUND. THE FLAMING COOLANT CAUSED A BRUSH FIRE OUTSIDE THE COMPOUND. THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED TO FIND HEAVY SMOKE & FLAME FROM THE TRANSFORMERS & THE BRUSH FIRE BURNING SLOWLY. WE CLOSED ACCESS TO THE INCIDENT. WE DONNED SCBA & HAD A TANKER INVESTIGATE THE BRUSHFIRE. OUR PUMPER STOOD BY 300' FROM THE INCIDENT, WAITING FOR ALL POWER TO BE SHUT OFF. WE REQUESTED MUTUAL AIDE FROM UMATILLA ARMY DEPOT. THEY PROVIDED A 250 GAL PUMPER WITH FOAM. THE UAD ATTACKED THE FIRE WITH FOAM AND TURNOUTS. OUR DEPT SUPPLIED WATER.

The Portland Hazmat Team responded to find improperly packaged waste materials from seized drug labs. Along with the PFB Hazmat Team was special agent Tracy Dewey from the DEA. After finding opened containers of hazardous chemicals from drug labs, it was decided to close down and evacuate the building until the DEA contacted a clean-up agency to reclose containers and overpack cartons[and] then clean up basement and the surrounding area.

UPON ARRIVAL AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS, I WAS TAKEN TO APPROX 100 FEET FROM THE MOBILE HOME, FROM THERE I WAS TOLD THE SPILL WAS APPROX ANOTHER 100 FEET AHEAD. I RETRIEVED MY BINOCULARS FROM BEHIND MY TRUCK SEAT. LOOKING AT THE SPILL, I FOUND THERE TO BE A 55 GALLON BARREL LAYING ON ITS SIDE. ON THE SIDE OF THE BARREL WAS A YELLOW PLACARD PRINTED WITH THE WORD "OXIDIZER." I THEN TOOK MY HAZ-MAT BOOK & FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS. I FLOODED THE AREA WITH 200 GALLONS OF WATER BEFORE I PLACED THE BARREL IN AN UP RIGHT POSITION. THE BARREL STILL CONTAINED APPROXIMAELY 3 TO 4 GALLONS OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. I INFORMED THE RESIDENTS TO AVOID THE AREA UNTIL I CHECKED IT OUT FURTHER. NOVEMBER 9, 1988, I CONTACTED DEQ AND TALKED TO JOHN BECKER, WHO TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL PORTLAND AND GET BACK TO ME. APPROX. 2 HRS LATER JOHN RETURNED THE CALL TO INFORM ME THAT WE HAD DONE THE CORRECT THING. THE WAY TO DISPOSE OF THE REMAINING CONTENTS OF THE BARREL WAS TO DILUTE & PUT ON THE GROUND, THEN FLOOD THE AREA AGAIN.

WE THEN ASSEMBLED SECOND ENTRY TEAM CONSISTING OF CAMPBELL AS TEAM LEADER, GASCOIGNE, AND KEN COOK OF PUBLIC WORKS. KEN WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE HE HAD EXPERIENCE USING THE A KIT DESIGNED TO STOP LEAKS IN 150 LB CHLORINE BOTTLES. ENTRY TEAM WAS DRESSED IN SPLASH SUITS WITH RUBBER GLOVES AND BOOTS TAPED SO THAT TEAM WOULD NOT BECOME CONTAMINATED. TEAM ALSO WAS EQUIPPED WITH ONE HOUR SCBA. THEIR OBJECTIVE TO STOP THE LEAK USING THE A KIT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO SLOW THE LEAK TO THE POINT THAT THE AREA WAS MORE SECURE. TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PENWALT CORP, WHICH DEALS WITH CHLORINE LEAKS, ARRIVED ON SCENE AT 1620 HRS AND REMOVED BOTTLE FROM BLDG. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTTLE COULD BE REMOVED SAFELY FROM CORE AREA OF CITY TO ISOLATED AREA OF EAST END MOORING BASIN FOR FUTHER ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN LEAK. THE TEAM FROM PENWALT REMOVED THE A KIT PATCH FROM THE CYLINDER AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN TURNING OFF THE VALVE TO STOP THE LEAK. ANTOHER LEAK WAS FOUND IN THE SIDE OF FYLINDER APPOX ONE FOOT FROM THE BOTTOM AND WAS PATCHED USING CLAMP FROM A KIT. SECOND LEAK WAS CAUSED FROM CORROSION OF THE METAL DUE TO THE LEAKING VALVE. IT APPEARED THAT VALVE HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS JUDGING FROM THE CONDITION OF THE CYLINGER AND THE INTERIOR OF THE STORAGE ROOM. PENWALT TEAM MEMBERS LOADED PATCHED CYLINDER INTO THEIR VEHICLE AND TOOK IT BACK TO PORTLAND WITH THEM. THEY ALSO ADVISED OWNER OF L & C CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF THE METHOD FOR CLEAN UP OF THE CONTAMINATED ROOM AND WHO TO CALL FOR REMOVAL OF THE THREE OTHER CYLINDERS IN STORAGE.

THIS DEPT HAS RESPONDED TO A SERIES OF REPORTS OF A SUDSY MATERIAL ENTERING INTO GILBERT CREEK. THE CONTAMINANT COMES FROM THE MAIN E-W STORM DRAIN LINE. THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE MATERIAL WOULD USUALLY ENTER THE CREEK BEGINNING AROUND 10AM LASTING UNTIL APPROX NOON. BY FOLLOWING THE LINES BACK, THE SUSPECT AREA WAS LIMITED TO THE UPPER END OF 6TH & 7TH STS. APPROX A DOZEN BUSINESSES WERE CONTACTED WITH NEGITIVE RESULTS. THE LAST BUSINESS CONTACTED WAS MCDONALD'S. IN DISCUSSION WITH THEIR PERSONNEL, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY USE A POTASSSIUM PHOSPHATE PARKING LOT CLEANER ALMOST DAILY. THEY BIGIN @ APPROX 0900. NORMALLY A GALLON OF THE PRODUCT IS USED & THE LOT IS FLUSHED WITH A HOSE FOR APPOX. 45 MINUTES. THIS WOULD CORRESPOND WITH THE MATERIAL ENTERING THE CREEK. THE MANAGER, DOUG MARCHINTON, WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROCEDURE. IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT ANYTHING WASHED OFF THE LOT ENTERED THE STORM DRAIN SYSTEM & EVENTUALLY GILBERT CREEK. HE WAS ADVISED TO STOP USING THE SOAP UNTIL IT COULD BE DETERMINED IF THEY WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. A COMPARISON OF THE SOAP WILL BE MADE WITH SAMPLES TAKEN FROM EARLIER INCIDENTS.

AT APPROX 1539 ON DECEMBER 22, 1990 I WAS CONTACTED BY JOHN PAFERT, A REPRESENTATIVE OF CARSON OIL AT MY RESIDENCE. HE NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RELEASE OF APPROXIMATELY 100-300 GALLONS OF DIESEL. UPON MY ARRIVAL THERE HAD BEEN A FAILURE IN THE DIKED CONTAINMENT AREA AROUND THE BULK TANKS. APPARENTLY A DRAIN HAD FROZE OPEN AND RELEASED DIESEL, QUANTITY OF UNKNOWN AMOUNT THAT HAD BEEN IN THE CONTAINMENT AREA AS A RESULT OF A BROKEN PIPING FILTER FOR THE DIESEL BULK TANKS. UPON IDENTIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT AND APPROXIMATE AMOUNT OUR DEPT THROUGH CHIEF BOB SCHNOOR NOTIFIED OARS AND CARSON OIL HAD NOTIFIED DEQ PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL. DEQ INSTRUCTED US ON CLEAN UP PRECEEDINGS WITH AVAILABLE ROAD CINDERS USED FOR SANDNG FROM THE CROOK COUNTY ROAD DEPT, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ODFW WAS THERE TO INSURE NO WILDLIFE HABITAT HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED. WITH SUPERVISION FROM BEND OFFICE OF THE DEQ AND APPROVAL OF THE CROOK COUNTY ROAD DEPT, THE SPILL AREA WAS CLEANED.

DELIVERY TRUCK DRIVER OVERFILLED TANK BY 32 GALLONS BECAUSE HE WAS NOT @ HIS TRUCK DOING HIS JOB. BUT WAS 20 TO 30 YDS AWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HIS TRUCK TALKING TO THE ATTENDANT. AT THIS TIME, A CITIZEN STOPPED BY TO GET SOME FUEL AND NOTICED THE FUEL WAS PUMPING INTO THE AIR. HE NOTIFIED THE TRUCK DRIVER & HE RAN TO GO AND SHUT OFF THE FLOW. HE DID NOT TELL ANYONE TO NOTIFY 911, OR THE ATTENDANT OF THE SPILL. LATER THE STATION MANAGERS GIRLFRIEND STOPPED BY TO BUY SOME MILK & WAS TOLD ABOUT THE SPILL & WENT HOME TO TELL HIM ABOUT IT. HE WENT TO THE STATION TO SEE ABOUT IT & NOTIFIED THE FIRE DEPT ABOUT THE SPILL. WHEN THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED ON THE SCENE WE SHUT DOWN THE STATION & BLOCKED OFF THE PARKING LOT TO ANY TRAFFIC. WE THEN CALLED THE COUNTY ROAD DEPT TO SEE IF WE COULD GET SOME SAND TO SPREAD OVER THE FUEL TO CONTAIN IT TO THE PARKING LOT. IT HAD BEEN RAINING QUITE HEAVILY AND WE HOPED TO CONTAIN THE SPILL TO THE LOT FOR FEAR IT MIGHT MAKE IT TO THE DRAINAGE DITCH OR THE CREEK. IN THE MORNING, THE COUNTY ROAD DEPT BROUGHT BY SOME ABSORBANT BLANKETS TO PICK UP THE REST OF THE SPILL. THE STATION WAS RE-OPENED AT THIS TIME.

THIS SPILL HAD BEEN NOTICED BY THE PHILOMATH PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 0900, WHEN THEY PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN THEIR WATER TREATMENT PLANT. WE RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND LOCATED THE SOURCE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES LATER. WE HAD BENTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION. WE PUT IN DIKES, UNDERFLOW DAMS, PADS AND BOOMS TO STOP THE FLOW BEFORE THE FUEL REACHED THE RIVER. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE SPILL HAD ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS AREA. ON THE ADVISE OF DEQ, PETER FISHER, HE DETERMINED THAT THE SMALL AMOUNT OF THE SPILL AND THE DISTANCE THAT IT HAD ALREADY TRAVELED, THAT A BOOM ACROSS MARY'S RIVER WAS NOT NECESSARY. WE FOUND A LIGHT FILM OF OIL 2 MILES FROM THE SITE ON MARY'S RIVER AT 1230. NEXT DAY, I ADVISED DEQ THAT MOST OF THE SPILL WAS ALREADY DOWNSTREAM AND THE WATER IS MUDDY AND HIGH. THAT PADS AND BOOMS HAVE PICKED UP MOST OF THE REMAINING SPILL. THE NOZZLE ON THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE COMPANY IS ENFORCING A NEW POLICY ON SPILLS AND EARLY NOTIFICATION. HAZMAT SPILL SUPPLIES WILL BE KEPT ON HAND AT THE COMPANY WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THEM. CHARLES HALL HAS BEEN GOOD TO WORK WITH AND WILL HAVE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE BOOMS AND PADS AND CHANGE THEM IF IT IS NECESSARY. HE HAS ALSO BEEN IN TOUCH WITH PUBLIC WORKS.

AN EMPLOYEE WORKING IN THE METALLUGIC LAB ADDED ACID TO A MIXTURE OF 90% ETHANOL/10% NITRIC ACID, THEN CAPPED THE 500 CC PLASTIC CONTAINER TIGHTLY, PLACING IT BACK ON THE CHEMICAL STORAGE SHELF. THE ADDED ACID ALLEGEDLY CAUSED AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION, BUILDING PRESSURE UNTIL THE CONTAINER BLEVE'D, THROWING PRODUCT & CONTAINER PIECES 20' ACROSS THE ROOM. THE RELEASE OF PRODUCT ALSO CAUSED CHEMICAL DETERIORATION TO THE SHELVING MATERIAL OF THE STORAGE RACKS. THE BLEVE KNOCKED OVER SEVERAL OTHER CHEMICAL CONTAINERS ON THE SHELF, CAUSING ANOTHER 500 CC PLASTIC BOTTLE OF 5% HYDRO-FLOURIC/30% NITRIC/65% H2O TO SHATTER ON THE FLOOR & RELEASE ITS PRODUCT. THE EMPLOYEE SUFFERED A SMALL ACID BURN ON ONE HAND, WAS TAKEN TO ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL BY POV BEFORE FIRE & RESCUE ARRIVED. FIREFIGHTERS USED LEVEL IV PROTECTION TO ENTER & REMOVE THE CONTAINERS; THE PRODUCT HAD EVAPORATED. SMOKE EJECTORS WERE THEN USED TO POSITIVELY PRESSURIZE THE BUILDING & VENTILATE THE AREA. THE SCENE WAS THEN RELEASED BACK TO OGI SAFETY PERSONNEL TO NEUTRALIZE & CLEAN UP THE RESIDUE LEFT ON THE FLOOR. WE DID ENCOUNTER MODERATE PROBLEMS AT INITIAL ENTRY. EMPLOYEES (WHO HAD NO RESPIRATION OR CLOTHING PROTECTION) WENT TO THE CONTAMINATED LAB SITE & THE LOADING DOCK WHERE WE CARRIED THE BROKEN CONTAINERS BEFORE FIREFIGHTERS COULD CONTROL THE SAFETY ZONE; THEY IGNORED OUR INITIAL REQUESTS TO LEAVE THE AREA & THEIR SAFETY COMMITTEE MEMBERS APPEARED TO BE UNAWARE OF PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE IN SAFEGUARDING THEMSELVES OR OTHERS.

HE RAN INSIDE THE POOL, CALLED 911 DONNED A CANISTER MASK & WENT OUT TO FIX TANKS. HE GOT THE VALVE ON THE TANK CLOSED BUT TOOK IN MORE CHLORINE DUE TO THE MASK BEING DONNED UNPROPERLY. THE VAPOR CLOUD MOVED EAST, DOWNHILL INTO HEAVY BRUSH & TIMBER TOWARDS A RESIDENTIAL AREA. HEAVY RAIN MAY HAVE HELPED DILUTE THE GAS & THE ODOR WAS NOT DETECTABLE ON SURROUNDING STREETS.

CITIZEN REPORTED SEEING TWO CYLINDERS FALL OVER ON THE LOADING DOACK OF LANDEEN WELDING. HE HEARD A VENTING NOISE FROM ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. THE TYPE OF PRODUCT WAS UNKNOWN. LANDEEN WELDING IS A FIXED SITE FACILITY THAT REFILLS COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS. FIREFIGHTERS EXAMINED THE LOADING DOCK AREA FROM OUTSIDE THE FENCED COMPOUND WITH BINOCULARS. CYLINDER #1 WAS GREEN IN COLOR, AND MARKED AS OXYGEN. CYLINDER #2 WAS YELLOW IN COLOR AND MARKED AS COMPRESSED AIR. WE DID NOT OBSERVE ANY VENTING OR ODOR FROM THE AREA. THE LOADING DOCK AREA CONTAINED AT LEAST 100 CYLINDERS. BUSINESS OWNER BILL LEWIS WAS SUMMONED TO THE SCENE. HE ARRIVED IN FIVE MINUTES. HE STATED THAT DURING THE HOT WEATHER, ONLY NON FLAMMABLE CASES ARE STORED IN THIS AREA, AN AREA EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT ALL DAY. HE FURTHER STATED THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A TANK TO RUPTURE ITS FUSIBLE LINK IN HIGH TEMPS. THE FORCE OF THE FUSIBLE LINK FAILING, IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A CYLINDER TO FALL OVER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPRESSED AIR TANK VENTED, KNOCKING OVER THE OXYGEN TANK ALSO.

INCIDENT 1290-92 HAZ-MAT INCIDENT 46151 SW PLUMLEE RD ON DECEMBER 1, 1992, WE RESPONDED TO 46151 SW PLUMLEE ROAD, MRS. MARJORIE SNYDER'S RESIDENCE, FOR A REPORTED LEAK OF FURNACE OIL IN THE HOME. UPON OUR ARRIVAL, THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION WAS THAT THERE WAS OIL INSIDE THE HOME, COVERING ABOUT 2/3 OF THE FAMILY ROOM FLOOR, WHICH WAS COVERED WITH TILE OVER CONCRETE. THE FLOOR WAS GRADED TO THE SOUTH, & MOST OF THE OIL HAD SEEPED UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE PATIO TYPE DOOR, TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME & INTO THE GROUND/LAWN AREA. THE SITUATION WAS IN NEED OF VENTILATION TO KEEP THE FUMES FROM ENTERING THE HOME, & A BOX STYLE FAN WAS PLACED IN THE KITCHEN DOORWAY TO BLOW THE FUMES OUT OF THE PATIO DOOR OF THE ROOM INVOLVED. FURTHER, THE SITUATION WAS DETERMINED TO BE IN NEED OF PREVENTING MORE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE & THE CONTENTS, & MANY AFFECTED ITEMS WERE TAKEN TO AN OUTSIDE COVERED AREA FOR STORAGE. NEXT WITH THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK ALREADY BEING SECURED PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL, THE YARD AREA OUTSIDE THE HOME WAS FLAGGED TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM TRACKING THE OIL & TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE OIL HAD POSSIBLEY GONE, AS IT WAS BOTH DARK & RAIN WAS FALLING HEAVILY. CLEANUP WAS ATTEMPTED OF THE REMAINING OIL, & MRS. SNYDER WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT HER INSURANCE AGENT, WHICH WAS MR. PHIL FECHTER OF STATE FARM. MR. FECHTER ADVISED MRS. SNYDER TO CALL SERVICE MASTER OF HILLSBORO FOR THE CLEAN UP, & SERVICE MASTER ADVISED THAT THEY COULD CLEAN UP THE MATERIAL UPON THEIR ARRIVAL. MRS. SNYDER WAS ADVISED OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION & THAT THE LAWN AREA WAS FLAGGED FOR FURTHER ACTION, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THE SPILL, & THAT WE WOULD RETURN ON DECEMBER 2, TO SEE THE SCENE IN THE DAYLIGHT. UPON ARRIVAL OF SERVICE MASTER, WE DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH THEM & RETURNED TO QUARTERS.

THERE WAS A SHORT POWER FAILURE & AMMONIA COMPRESSOR SHUT DOWN. THE BACK PRESSURE FOR THE SHUT DOWN CAUSED THE FIXT. RELIEF VALVES TO OPEN FOR A SHORT TIME, RELEASING AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF AMMONIA. THE COMPRESSORS WERE RESTART VERY QUICKLY BY EMPLYEES. THE AMMONIA GAS WAS BLOWN INTO PARTS OF THE BUILDING BY THE WIND. THE AMOUNT RELEASE WAS NOT TOO LARGE. BUILDING WAS EVACUATED BEFORE OUR ARRIVAL & EVERYONE WAS OUT. ON OUR ARRIVAL ALL EMPLOYEE WERE OUT & WE MEET WITH PLANT MANAGER & HE TOLD US WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE WANTED US TO MAKE A WALK THROUGH TO CHECK TO BE SURE EVERYONE WAS OUT. WE DID & NO ONE WAS IN THE BUILDINGS THE SEARCH WAS DONE IN FULL TURNOUTS & SCBA. SULFUR STICKS WERE USED BY EMPLOYEE IN SCBA'S TO CHECK BUILDING-ALL WAS OK. WE THEN DID A DOUBLE CHECK WITH SULFUR STICKS WITH PLANT EMPLOYEES - ALL WAS OK. EMPLOYEE RETURNED TO WORK AFTER PLANT MANAGER & FIRE DEPT OFFICER CONFERRED. PLANT WAS TURNED OVER TO PLANT MANAGER & HIS EMPLOYESS. COMMAND SUMMARY: UPON FIRE DEPT ARRIVAL, A DEFENSIVE STANCE WAS TAKEN & THE PLANT OFFICIAL WAS CONSULTED WITH. THE PLANT HAD BEEN EVACUATED, BUT IT WAS NOT KNOWN IF EVERYONE WAS OUT. AFTER FINDING THAT THE SITUATION WAS A VENT RELEASE AS OPPOSED TO A CONTINUOUS LEAK, VENTILATION & A PRIMARY SEARCH WAS EFFECTED. UPON GIVING US ALL CLEAR, PLANT OFFICIALS CHECKED THE AREA WITH SULFUR STICKS TO DETECT ANY RESIDUAL VAPOR & COMMENCED DECONTAMINATION AT THE AREA WHERE THE RELEASE/VENT HAD OCCURRED. ONCE THIS HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, COMMAND WAS TERMINATED & ALL APPARATUS WAS RETURNED TO THE STATION.

REFER TO 153-93 - COMPRESSOR SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED AFTER POWER FAILURE DAMAGED VALVES IN THE SYSTEM. THE REPAIR WORK WAS DONE ABOUT 0100 HRS. THE SYSTEM FAILED ABOUT 0140 CAUSING A RELEASE OF AMMONIA THROUGH RELEIF VALVE, OUT VENT PIPE, INTO AIR ABOVE THE BUILDING. THE LIQUID ALSO WENT DOWN ROOF DRAIN INTO BUILDING DRAIN SYSTEM. EMPLOYEE WERE EVACUATED SOON AFTER TIME OF SYSTEM FAILURE, & WE WERE CALLED FOR INJURED PEOPLE. ON OUR ARRIVAL AT THE SCENE WE FOUND EMPLOYEE OUT OF THE BUILDING WITH A FEW PEOPLE DOWN FROM EXPOSURE TO AMMONIA GAS. JUST AFTER ARRIVAL THE WIND CHANGED DIRECTION & WE MOVED PEOPLE 2 BLOCKS FARTHER AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. (IN FULL TURN OUTS & SCBA). WE WAITED A WHILE FOR THE BUILDING FANS TO VENT THE STRUCTURE. WE WENT BACK IN, (IN FULL TURNOUTS & SCBA) USING SULFUR STICKS TO CHECK AIR & WENT THROUGH THE FULL BUILDING. THE AIR WAS OK BUT FLOOR DRAINS WEAR STILL BAD. WE GOT WATER RUNNING THROUGH DRAIN SYSTEM & CHECKED DRAIN AGAIN LATER & ALL WAS OK. WE DID ANOTHER WAS THROUGH WITH PLANT MANAGERS & THINGS SEEMED NORMAL. WE TURNED PLANT OVER TO MANAGEMENT & RETURNED TO STATION. COMMAND SUMMARY: UPON FIRE DEPT ARRIVAL, A DEFENSIVE STANCE WAS TAKEN & THE PLANT OFFICIAL WAS CONSULTED WITH. THE PLANT WAS EVACUATED BUT THE PLANT OFFICIALS WERE NOT SURE IF ALL EMPLOYEES WERE OUT OF AREA. THE PLANT OFFICIAL STATED THAT THIS WAS A VENT RELEASE ONCE AGAIN & NOT A VALVE LEAK. VENTILATION & PRIMARY SEARCH WAS EFFECTED. AN ALL CLEAR WAS CONVEYED & THE AREA WAS CHECKED BY PLANT OFFICIALS FOR RESIDUAL VAPOR. PLANT OFFICIALS FURTHER ORDERED DECONTAMINATION OF THE VENT AREA & FLOOR DRAINS IN THE PLANT. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY PLANT EMPLOYEES.

THE CALLING PARTY ALSO STATED THAT AMERIGAS HAD JUST FILLED THE TANKS THAT MORNING. AFTER DETERMINING THAT THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY, I INFORMED 911 DISPATCH OF THE SITUATION. I EVACUATED THE GYM & WAITED FOR FIRE CREWS TO RESPOND. ONCE 5 CREWS ARRIVED, WE DETERMINED THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE 10% VALVE. WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED A FOG PATTERN TO HOLD DOWN VAPORS AND CLOSED THE 10% VALVE CAP. WE REMAINED ON SCENE FOR APPROX 1 HR AFTER WE CLOSED THE 10% VALVE CAP. THE ESTIMATED GALLONS LOST CAME FROM JERRY ANSELME, MANAGER FOR AMERIGAS.

JOE MCKINNEY (PUBLIC WORKS) CALLED OUR OFFICE AT 1430 AND TOLD US OF A POSSIBLE DIESEL SPILL IN THE RIVER. I RESPONDED AT 1430 AND MET WITH JOE AT 5TH & 99E. JOE TOLD ME THERE WAS A SLICK ON THE WATER IN THE WILLAMETTE RIVER. WE WORKED UP THE RIVER UNTIL WE FOUND A PIPE FROM THE SMURFIT PAPER MILL FLOWING WATER INTO THE RIVER. THE FUEL SLICK WAS COMING FROM THIS PIPE. AT THIS TIME, CHARLIE SAMPSON FROM THE MILL APPROACHED US AND TOLD ME THAT THE DIESEL FUEL SPILLED FROM AN 88,000 GALLON TANK AND IT WAS BEING WASHED INTO THE RIVER. HE SAID THE LEAK HAPPENED SOMETIME EARLIER. (AROUND LUNCH TIME- BETWEEN 12 &1) I CONTACTE C-COM AND ASKED THEM TO CALL OERS, THE COAST GUARD, AND DEQ. AT THIS TIME, I FOUND THAT THE CALL TO THE FIRE DEPT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE C-COM HAD CONTACTED THE SHERIFF'S MARINE PATROL TO CHECK A SMELL ON THE RIVER. THE MARINE PATROL, AFTER INVESTIGATING, CONTACTED CASEY MARLEY WHO REPORTED THE EVEN TO OERS, DEQ, AND THE COAST GUARD (BUT NOT THE FIRE DEPT). I THEN WENT TO THE AREA OF THE SPILL WHICH IS A TUNNEL-LIKE AREA UNDER THE ROAD WHERE I MET WITH GARY FIELDS, A MILL REPRESENTATIVE. GARY TOLD ME A SUBCONTRACTOR HAD CUT THE FUEL LINE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND THE BETWEEN 12 AND 1 THE VALVE WAS OPENED TO THTE DIESEL STORAGE TANK SPILLING DIESEL FUEL FROM THE OPEN FUEL LINE. THE LEAK WAS DISCOVERED AT 1 BY SOMEONE TAKING A WATER SAMPLE. THE MILL PERSONNEL THEN PLACED ABSORBENT MATERIAL IN THE TUNNEL & HAULED MATERIAL OUT OF THE AREA TO BE DISPOSED OF. BOOMS AND ABSORBENT WERE PLACED TO CONTAIN THE REST OF THE SPILL. AT 6:10 PM THE MILL PERSONNEL STARTED SETTING UP LIGHTS AT THE SCENE AND I CLEARED THE SCENE.

THE PERSON THAT WAS WORKING IN THE AREA AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE ADMITTED TO DISPOSING OF SOME SPILLED CHEMICALS IN THE DUMPSTER JUST PRIOR TO THE FIRE. HE ESTIMATED THAT HE PLACED APPROX 30-40 POUNDS OF OXIDIZER IN THE DUMPSTER.

R471 BEGAN VENTILATING THE BLDG FROM THE NORTH END AND E471 COMPLETED EXTINGUISHMENT OF THE DUMPSTER. SECURED MSDS'S FOR THREE OF THE FOUR PRODUCTS IN THE AREA AND DETERMINED THEM ALL TO BE MODERATE OXIDIZERS IN SOLID FORM. AFTER SMOKE HAD BEEN EVACUATED, DISCOVERED THAT TWO PALLETS OF OXIDIZERS HAD BEEN SPILLED AND WATER FROM FIRE SUPPRESSION HAD CAUSED MATERIAL TO SPREAD THOUGHOUT AREA. EVACUATED AREA, DECONNED BOOTS BY FLUSHING WATER AND INFORMED BOISE FIRE BRIGADE IC THAT THEY NEEDED TO CLEANUP THE AREA. RETURNED TO QUARTERS. CONTACTED OERS ON MARCH 3, 1995 AT 1230 HRS AND BRIEFED THE DUTY OFFICER ON THE SITUATION. SHE WILL CONTACT DEQ.

EMPLOYEE OF WAFER MAN PLANT WAS DIPPING WAFERS INTO AN ETCHING ACID, MADE OF 52%NITRIC ACID & 5% HYDROFLORIC ACID, TO REMOVE A POLY FROM THE WAFER. THE WAFERS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT ARE BELIEVED TO BE COATED BY 3 TIMES THE POLY USUALLY FOUND ON THE WAFERS. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE EXTRA POLY CAUSED THE ETCHING ACID TO BOIL AND FUME. THE FUMES WERE INHALED BY TWO EMPLOYEES. THEY EXITED THE ROOM. THE ERT REMOVED THE BOAT OF WAFERS AND STABILIZED THE REACTION. ADDITIONALLY IT IS THROUGHT THE WORK BEING PERFORMED ON VENT FANS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT. THE TWO INHALATION VICTIMS WERE FIRST ASYMPTOMATIC UNTIL THE FEMALE VICTIM WENT OUTSIDE TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE. SHE BECAME LIGHTHEADED AFTERWARD. EMS WAS ACTIVATED. HM-3 WAS CALLED FOR BY ENGINE 71 AS A RESOURCE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. UPON ARRIVAL, HM-3 FOUND THAT AMR AND E-71 HAD CONTACTED OUR MEDICAL RESOURCE HOSPITAL AND WAS RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM POISON CONTROL THROUGH THEM.

THIS INCIDENT IS DUE TO THE RESULT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE PENETRATING THE ROOF PORTION OF THE LOADING DOCK THEN PUSHING THE STRUCTURE TO THE POINT OF CAUSING MOST OF THE DELIVERY PLUMBING TO BE SPRUNG OUT OF POSITION. AT THE SUPER UNLEADED BULK LOADING LINE IT WAS EITHER CRACKED OR PULLED FROM THE INTERNAL THREADS OF THE 2" STEEL LINE. WHEN A CARDLOCK CUSTOMER THEN ATTEMPTED TO PUMP GAS AT THE SUPER UNLEADED PUMP, HE STARTED THE PUMP WHICH FORCED GASOLINE FROM THE FRACTURED LINE SPRAYING AND SPREADING FUEL OVER APPROXIMATELY 20 FT AREA. THE CARDLOCK CUSTOMER IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE FUEL LEAK AND SHUT DOWN THE PUMP. HE DID NOT SHUT OFF THE EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN SWITCH LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PLANT. HE DID IMMEDIATELY CALL 911 THROUGH THE ASSOCIATED OREGON LOGGERS RADIO SYSTEM VIA THEIR CONTROL OFFICE IN VERNONIA. UPON ARRIVAL, I FOUND ONE LOG TRUCK LEAVING THE CARDLOCK AND ONE PICKUP ON THE SCENE. THERE APPEARED TO BE SOME SORT OF FUEL SPILL ON THE PAVED SURFACE RUNNING FROM THE LOADING DOCK TO THE SUMP DRAIN. THIS MATERIAL WAS APPROX 1 FT IN WIDTH AND HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 25 FT. APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 GALS HAD BEEN RELEASED DURING THE TIME THAT THE PUMP HAD RUN. WE SHUT DOWN ALL VALVES IN THE TANK FARM AT EACH TANK TO ELIMINATE ANY FURTHER POTENTIAL FOR SPILLAGE. WE FOAMED DOWN THE SPILL AREA WITH A-FFF TO PROVIDE A PROTECTION BARRIER. BEFORE ALLOWING THE CARDLOCK TO RE-OPEN I REQUESTED THEY TAKE A LEL & VEL BEFORE OPENING FOR OPERATION. THIS WAS TO ASSURE THAT LEVELS WERE ACCEPTABLE. UPON WILCOX AND FLEGAL STAFF ARRIVING WE THEN TURNED OVER FOR CLEANUP AND REPAIR TO THEM.

WILLAMETTE INDUSTRIES BELIEVE THAT A CHECK VALVE FAILED CAUSING THE PRODUCT TO GO UP A VENT PIPE, ONTO THE ROOF AND INTO THE STORM SYSTEM. INITIALLY THEY REPORTED THAT AN HOUR PRIOR TO ARRIVAL THEY HAD NOTIFIED OERS THAT A SPILL OF NO LARGER THAN 5 GAL HAD OCCURRED. LATER THEY ESTIMATED APPROX 5-50 GAL OF THE PRODUCT WAS SPILLED ONTO THE ROOF OF THE BUILDING AS WELL AS 2000-3000 GAL OF WATER FLUSHED THROUGH THE LOWER PART OF THE SYSTEM INTO THE STORM DRAIN. THEY STATED THEY CLEANED SOME OF THE PRODUCT FROM THE ROOF WITH ABSORBANT PADS, BUT WERE UNSURE OF THE AMT THAT HAD GONE DOWN THE SPOUTS FROM THE ROOF. E251 WAS ABLE TO DETECT A SCENT OF THE PRODUCT AT FANNO CREEK AND CALLED HM9 FOR ADVICE. HM9 RESPONDED TO SCENE AND ENROUTE ASKED FOR AN "INCIDENT COMMANDER" WHICH WAS C5 CALLING THE INCIDENT "WILLAMETTE INDUSTRIES COMMAND". ENROUTE TO CALL AS WELL AS ON SCENE HM9 NOTIFIED THE FOLLOWING: OERS, DEQ, STATE DUTY OFFICER, POISON CONTROL, COAST GUARD, STATE FISH & GAME, NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER, CHEMTREK, UNIFIED SEWAGE AGENCY, AND OSP. UPON ARRIVAL OF HM9, I SPOKE WITH BOB ARNESON, WILLAMETTE INDUSTRIES ON SITE CHEMIST. HE STATED THAT THE CHEMICAL WAS DESIGNED TO HAVE A VERY SLOW EVAPORATION RATE AND THOUGHT WITH THE COLD WEATHER AND LACK OF WIND THAT THE CHEMICAL WOULD "OFF GAS" IN THE STREAM FOR QUITE SOME TIME. AIR MONITORING TOOK PLACE AT BOTH THE ORIGINAL SITE OF RELEASE AS WELL AS THE BOOM LOCATION WITH NO DETECTION ON THE PHD. "RESOURCE" CONTACTED THE FOLLOWING WITH THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE FROM THE AGENCY. DUPONT, THE PRODUCER OF THE PROCUCT, AND SPOKE WITH (2) CHEMISTS WHICH STATED THAT THE CHEMICAL, IF DETECTED BY THE NOSE(0.2-2.0PPM) WOULD MEAN THAT YOU WERE TOO CLOSE AND NEEDED TO MOVE TO FRESH AIR. THEY RECOMMENDED TO SHELTER IN PLACE AND WEAR APPROPRIATE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. POISON CONTROL-NO INFORMATION FOUND. COAST GUARD-NO RESPONSE, APPRECIATE CONTACT. FISH & GAME-SENT (2) OFFICERS FROM OSP TO INVESTIGATE SCENE. UNIFIED SEWAGE AGENCY-APPRECIATE NOTIFICATION. SOON AFTER ARRIVAL OF HM9, THE CITY OF BEAVERTON EMERGENCY MANAGER HAD ALREADY SENT CREWS TO DENNY RD/HWY 217 AT FANNO CREEK TO PREPARE TO DEPLOY BOOMS INTO THE CREEK. HM9 ADVISED IC THAT AN ENGINE COMPANY SHOULD DEPLOY BOOMS ALONG WITH WEARING RESPIRATORY PROTECTION AS WELL AS RUBBER BOOTS/GLOVES. SQT 267 WAS DISPATCHED TO COMMAND TO PICK UP BOOMS AND ALSO TOOK ALONG HM9 MEMBER R. BURRIS FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY REPORTED NO ODOR AT TIME OF FIRST BOOM DEPLOYMENT. IC ALONG WITH PLANNING AND THE CITY OF BEAVERTON EMERGENCY MANAGER DECIDED THAT FLUSHING THE STORM SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE CREEK WOULD PUSH THE CHEMICAL INTO THE BOOMS FASTER. AFTER 2 HYDRANTS WERE OPENED AND BEGAN FLUSHING THE STORM DRAIN, SQT267 BEGAN TO NOTICE THE ODOR FROM THE CHEMICAL AS WELL AS A DEAD FISH. IT WAS AROUND THIS TIME THAT A RESIDENT FROM A NEARBY HOME CAME TO THE COMMAND SCENE TO COMPLAIN OF RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS. METRO WEST AS WELL AS ENG/PM ANNEN FROM E251 NOW MEDICAL BRANCH WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PATIENT. THE HYDRANTS WERE IN OPERATION FOR APPROX 45 MINS AND THE ODOR PRODUCTION WAS GETTING NOTICABLY WORSE FURTHER DOWN THE CREEK TOWARDS THE BOOMS THREATENING A MOBILE HOME PARK. IT WAS ALSO ABOUT THIS TIME THAT SPENCER ENVIRONMENTAL, THE COMPANY THAT WILLAMETTE INDUSTRIES CALLED, ARRIVED ON SCENE AT THE BOOMS. HM9 AT THIS POINT SERVED AS AN ADVISORY ROLE IN THE IC SYSTEM AND ASSISTED WITH DECISIONS SUCH AS EVACUATION, AIR MONITORING ETC. HM9 WAS LATER RELEASED AND SCENE WAS LEFT TO THE IC WITH SPENCER ENVIRONMENTAL HANDLING THE CLEAN UP.

This was a leak in a heating fuel line that supplies the Forest Service bunk house oil burning stove. The oil leaked into the ground and then showed up leaking into the storm drain along the city street. The oil then mixed with the water in the ditch and flowed down the street to just before a culvert. The Forest Service personell built a dam and put straw and floor sweep material on the ditch and this seemed to contain and curtail the leak. The proper notification of responsible parties was done and proper documentation is being processed by thier agency. I am also monitoring and documenting the spill as well as advising the Forest Service as to the clean-up and decontamination.

AS NOTED IN PRIOR NARRATIVE, I TOOK COMMAND OF THE INCIDENT AT 1722 HRS. THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE EMERGENCY CALLS ELSE WERE IN THE CITY. THE SITUATION HAD STABILIZED AT OSU. THE LEAK FROM THE TANK HAD BEEN STOPPED BY OSU PLANT PERSONNEL. THIS WAS DONE BY CLOSING THE VALVE ON THE TANK. WITH DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN RON RAMPENTHAL (PUBLIC WORKS), BILL FRANCIS (OSU) AND MYSELF IT WAS DECIDED TO TRANSFER PRODUCT FROM THE SUMP TO HOLDING DRUM SUPPLIED BY OSU UNTIL THE SEWER OUTLET WAS EXPOSED. THE TEAM MONITORED THE AREA AROUND AND DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SUMP. ALL READINGS WERE ZERO. MONITORING WAS CONTINUOUS DURING THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERRING WITH NO LEL READINGS ABOVE ZERO. NO PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ABOVE LEVEL "D" WAS NEEDED. APPROX 80 GALS OF PRODUCT WAS TRANSFERRED BY PUMP TO TWO HOLDING BARRELS. PUBLIC WORKS PERSONNEL PLUGGED THE SEWER INLTE WITH AN 8" EXPANDABLE PLUG. THIS TOTALLY CONTAINED THE PRODUCT FROM LEAVING THE PLANTS CONTAINMENT. I INFORMED BILL FRANCIS TO CONTACT A CLEAN-UP CONTRACTOR TO COME PICK UP THE BARRELS AS WELL AS PUMPING OUT THE SUMP. HE STATED HE WOULD DO THIS. I CONTACTED OERS, DEQ, SFMO NOTIFYING THEM THAT THE INCIDENT HAD BEEN MITIGATED.

WRITER INVESTIGATED THE SPILL AND CALLED FOR HAZMAT 2 TO RESPOND, ANOTHER ENGINE, MEDIC UNIT, AND CHIEF OFFICER . CHLORINE GAS WAS EXTREMELY CONCENTRATED AT THE MOUTH OF THE COMPACTOR, VENTILATION FANS FROM RESPONDING UNITS KEPT THE INTERIOR GAS FREE WHILE HAZMAT ISOLATED THE EXTERIOR AND DEVELOPED A PLAN. ROYAL REFUSE WAS USED TO PULL THE COMPACTOR AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE AND ISOLATED THE CHLORINE TO FREE AIR. PATRONS WERE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THE STORE AT THAT TIME. HAZMAT TEAM MEMBERS SOLITIFIED THE SLURRY OF CHEMICAL WITH ABSORBANT THEN SHOVELED IT, DRY PRODUCT AND CONTAMINATED DEBRI FROM THE COMPACTOR INTO 5 GAL BUCKETS. THE BUCKETS WERE THEN BAGGED AND PLACED INSIDE FOUR LALRGE GARBAGE CANS AND LIDS PLACED ON TOP. COSTCO RETURNED POSSESION OF THE WASTE AND PRODUCT AND SIGNED AN INCIDENT/ SPILL RELEASE REPORT. GEAR WAS DECONTAMINATED AT THE SCENE. COLORMETRIC TUBES INDICATED LESS THAN .5PPM IN THE COMPACTOR AND 0 PPM INSIDE THE STORE.

SODIUM HYDROXIDE WAS RELEASED INTO A SEWAGE PUMP STATION. IT IS UNCERTAIN IF THE PRODUCT WAS RESIDUAL IN A SUMP PUMP THAT BECAME MIXED WITH WATER, IF THE PRODUCT WAS RELEASED FROM A FAILED PIPE WHERE UNACCOUNTED FOR RESIDUAL PRODUCT MAY HAVE BEEN, OR IF THE PRODUCT LEAKED FROM A FAILED TANK. THE 10,000 GALLON CONTAINER HAD BEEN EMPTIED SO IF PRODUCT ORIGINATED FROM THE TANK, IT WAS EXPECTED TO BE RESIDUAL QUANTITIES ONLY. A PH+ OF 14 WAS MEASURED IN STANDING PRODUCT. A SUMP PUMP FAILURE CONTRIBUTED TO CIRCULATING PRODUCT IN THE STATION BUT NOT REMOVING THE PRODUCT. CONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN DOING MODIFICATION WORK ON THE PUMP STATION. HAZMAT TEAM OPERATIONS WERE GEARED TOWARDS: RECON, SECURING THE SEWAGE PUMPING OPERATION TO A SAFE CONDITION, STOPPING THE CIRCULAR SUMP PUMP SITUATION THAT WAS RAISING THE PRODUCT FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER AND FLOWING BACK DOWN, DETERMINING THAT THERE WAS NO CONTINUOUS INFLUX OF MATERIAL (FIXED QUANTITY) AND SECURING AREA FOR LATER CLEAN UP OPERATIONS.

E-10 DISCOVERED SMOKE CAUSED BY SOME UNKNOWN REACTION OCCURING IN A CARDBOARD CONTAINER (ON TOP OF A WOODEN PALLET) THAT WAS LINED WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE A NYLON SACK AND VISQUEEN LINER. THE CONTENTS RESEMBLED CRUSHED CLAY. E-10 REQUESTED HAZMAT 2 RESPOND. SUBSEQUENT TESTS REVEALED THE PROBABLE PRETENSE OF AN OXIDIZING AGENT AND POSSIBLY CHEMICALS OR WASTE PRODUCTS CONTAINING CHROMIUM. THOSE FINDINGS WERE CONSISTENT WITH LISTED CHEMICALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE METAL PLATING BUSINESS. EFFORTS TO CONTACT A RESPONSIBLE PERSON FOR THE BUSINESS WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE PREDICATED ON CONDITIONS OBSERVED ON THE SITE. OERS WAS ACTIVATED AND CONTACT WAS MADE WITH DEQ (LAUREN GARNER). DEQ WAS REQUESTED TO RESPOND DUE TO THE POOR INDUSTRIAL SITE HYGIENE. DEQ DID NOT RESPOND BUT AGREED FOR LATER INSPECTION AND ALSO WITH HAZMAT 2 PLAN TO LOAD THE MATERIAL FROM THE FAILED CONTAINER INTO STEEL, OVERPACK DRUMS. WHILE OBSERVING STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR SITE CONTROL AND AIR MONITORING, HAZMAT TECHNICIANS SHOVELED THE MATERIAL INTO A 55 GALLON AND 30 GALLON RECOVERY DRUM. THE DEQ CONTRACTED WASTE HAULER WOULD NOT PICKUP THE DRUMS AND STORE FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND BUT DID RESPOND TO PLACE AND EXCLUSION FENCE AROUND THE DRUMS.

SHE STATES THAT SHE WAS TAKING A NAP AND WAS AWAKENED BY AN EXPLOSION IN THE KITCHEN AREA FOLLOWED BY THE STRONG ODOR OF AMMONIA. SHE EVACUATED SELF AND PETS. NEAR THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRAILER THERE WAS A SLIGHT ODOR OF AMMONIA. WE MONITORED THE AREA WITH A AIR/GAS MONITOR AND BEGAN VENTILATING THE TRAILER WITH AN ELECTRIC SMOKE EJECTOR. WE ENTERED WITH SCBA AND BEGAN INVESTIGATING FOR A SOURCE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OBVIOUS SOURCE. THE ODOR DISSIPATED AND OUR MONITOR SHOWED NORMAL READINGS. AFTER A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF ALL POSSIBLE SOURCES OUR ONLY SUSPECT WAS A BUILT IN REFRIGERATOR THAT HAD NOT BEEN WORKING FOR ABOUT A WEEK, ACCORDING TO THE OWNER. THE REFRIGERATOR IS A NORCOLD MODEL NO. 8762 WITH NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF FAILURE, HOWEVER SEEMED TO BE THE ONLY LOGICAL SOURCE OF THE RELEASE. UPON LATER RESEARCH OF THIS UNIT, WE FOUND THAT IT IS NORMALLY CHARGED WITH APPROX. 2-3 CUPS OF AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE OR AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE AT SEVERAL HUNDRED PSI. THE STEEL TUBING IN THESE SYSTEMS ARE KNOWN TO CORRODE AND FAIL RELEASING AMMONIA INTO THE AIR. AFTER FINISHING OUR INVESTIGATION AND VENTILATION WE ADVISED THE CALLER THAT WE SUSPECTED THE REFRIGERATOR HAD RELEASED AN AMMONIA TYPE REFRIGERANT AND THAT THE SYSTEM WAS PROBABLY EMPTY. WE EXPLAINED TO HER THAT OUR MONITOR WAS NOT DETECTING ANYTHING ABNORMAL, AND THAT IT WAS SAFE FOR HER TO RETURN TO HER TRAILER. WE ADVISED HER TO HAVE THE REFRIGERATOR SERVICED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TO EVACUATE AND CALL US BACK IF SHE BEGAN SMELLING THE ODOR AGAIN.

UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION WE DISCOVERED THAT THE DRAIN PIPE HAD A 4" SEPARATION BETWEEN THE DRAIN HOUSING AND THE PIPE COUPLING. THE DRAIN INLET WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FULL FO PLASTIC DRAIN TUBES FROM VARIOUS MACHINES IN THE RADIOLOGY DEPT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET ANY LIQUID EVEN WITHOUT THE PIPE SEPARATION.

MSDS SHEETS STATED THAT PRODUCT WAS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, TOXIC, AND AN OXIDIZER WITH A LOW FLASH POINT. A 2 PERSON RECON TEAM WITH BACKUP WAS SENT IN THE AREA WITH FULL PPE TO DETERMINE THE SCENE LAYOUT AND OTHER PERTINENT INFO. ENTRY CREWS DETERMINED THAT MOST OF THE PRODUCT HAD EVAPORATED IN THE 85 DEGREE HEAT AND DIRECT SUN. A PLAN WAS FORMULATED TO UTILIZE A PLANT MGR/HAZMAT TEAM MEMBER TO OPERATE A FORKLIFT, ASSIST IN THE REMOVAL OF SURROUNDING CONTAINERS, AND PLUG AND ISOLATE THE PUNCTURED BARREL OF PRODUCT. BACKUP CREWS UTITILIZED THE MAN HOSE LINES AND OVERPACKED THE ABSOBENT PADS USED TO SOAK UP THE RESIDUAL PRODUCT AS THE INCIDENT WAS TERMINATED.

TWO ALARM COMMERCIAL BUILDING FIRE IN TIGARD. DURING THE EVENT, PEOPLE NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A PETROLEUM BASE SHEEN FLOATING ON THE WATER RUNOFF. YOU COULD ALSO SEE SOMETHING WHITE FLOATING ON THE WATER. ON DISPATCH OF THE INCIDENT THE 911 CENTER STATED THERE WERE MULTIPLE EXPLOSIONS INSIDE THE BUILDING WITH SOME HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORED IN THE BUILDING. WITH THESE FINDINGS COMMAND ASKED FOR A HAZMAT TEAM TO RESPOND. BOTH HAZMAT TEAM ENGINE COMPANIES WERE ON THE FIRE SCENE ALREADY, SO I MET WITH COMMAND. ARRANGEMENTS WERE ALREADY MADE TO GET THE VEHICLES TO THE SCENE. I MET WITH CITY OF TIGARD OFFICALS AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY BOOMS. THEY STATED THEY WERE ALREADY ON THE WAY. ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE BOOMS WE PUT THEM ACROSS FANNO CREEK JUST BELOW WHERE THE RUNOFF WAS ENTERING THE CREEK. BY THIS TIME THERE WAS NO MORE SHEEN NOTICIABLE OR WHITE STUFF FLOATING ON THE WATER. SAFETY OFFICER STEINER MET WITH MANAGER OF THE BUSINESS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL OF BOOMS AND ATTEMPTED TO FIND OUT PRODUCTS STORED IN THE BUILDING. REPORTED TO ME THAT THE ONLY TWO PRODUCTS STORED IN THE BUILDING WERE 100 1 GALLON CONTAINERS OF EPOXY AND ONE 55 GALLON DRUM HALF FULL OF PAINT THINNER. AFTER FIRE KNOCK DOWN AND IN THE OVERHAUL PHASE, LT. MORGAN AND HIS CREW ENTERED THE BUILIDING AND CHECKED THE FLAMMABLE LIQUID STORAGE AREA. THEY NOTED THAT ALL THE CONTAINERS HOLDING THE EPOXY AND PAINT THINNERS WERE INTACT. A FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN THE ROOM DUMPED DRY CHEMICAL ON THE CONTAINERS AND SAVED THEM. IN CONCLUSION: IT APPEARS THAT THE PETROLEUM SHEEN MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BY PRODUCT OF THE TAR ROOF BURNING OFF THE BUILDING. THE WHITE GLOBS OF MATTER IN THE RUNOFF COULD HAVE BEEN A HAND CLEANER THAT THE MANAGER STATES TURNS WHITE ON CONTACT WITH WATER.

SINCE THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION IS NO LONGER MARKETED FOR THIS USE, OBTAINING AN ACCURATE MSDS SHEET WAS DIFFICULT AND TIME CONSUMING. FACILITY PERSONNEL DID NOT HAVE ONE AVAILALE ONSITE BUT WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN ONE OVER THE INTERNET. ONCE WE KNEW WHAT THE PRODUCT WAS WE SENT IN A RECON TEAM TO PH THE ATMOSPHERE AND RESIDUE, AND TO DETERMINE IF THE REACTION WAS OVER. THE RECON TEAM FOUND A NUETRAL ATMOSPHERE, A RESIDUE PH OF 0-1 AND THAT THE REACTION SEEMED TO BE COMPLETE.

AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE THE PROBLEM, USING A WATER STREAM TO DISSIPATE THE GAS, THE VALVE EVENTULALLY CLOSED. WE BELIEVE THAT WATER BEING SPRAYED ON IT WARMED IT UP ENOUGH TO CLOSE THE VALVE. OERS WAS REQUESTED TO BE NOTIFIED BY THE COMMAND OFFICER. APPARENTLY, NO RESPONSE TO OUR SCENE WAS INITIATED.

This chemical is used in the process of treating wastewater. Last summer a containment wall was built and a pipe was cut during the construction. The pipe was never capped or put back into service. Some repairs were made to a sodium bisulfate pumping system that had not been used in a while and when it was started a valve had been left open to the missing section of pipe. The leak was a distance away and the first sign of the leak was the operator seeing a dropping of the tank levels. The chemical went into one of several wastewater treatment ponds. The Oregon DEQ was notified because the spill was above the reportable quantity. OERS incident # 02-0298. The wastewater treatment ponds empty into Truax Creek and the spill has the potential of environmentally effecting the Truax Creek and Willamette River.

AT 1201 ON 02-15-03, LANE COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT #1 WAS DISPATCHED TO A HAZMAT CALL ON JEANS RD BEHIND THE BI-MART. ENGINE 1121 RESPONDED FROM HWY 126 AND HOPE LN WITH FF/EMT-P SHANNON BENSON AND MYSELF. ON ARRIVAL, 1121 STAGED ON JEANS RD AND I MADE CONTACT WITH THE REPORTING PARTY BY PHONE. CAL MCCORMICK, WHO HAD INITIATED THE CALL THROUGH OEMS, IDENTIFIED THE RELEASE SITE TO BE THE DITCH JUST EAST OF BI-MART AND THE RELEASED PRODUCT TO BE FERTILIZER. AT THIS TIME I TOOK COMMAND, ASSIGNED 1800 AS SAFETY, 1130 AS LIASON WITH BI-MART (SEE ATTACHED NARRATIVE)(NOTHING ATTACHED), AND RETURNED ALL OTHER UNITS. AFTER RECEIVING FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCT THE SPILL WAS INVESTIGATED AND FOUND TO BE CLEAR OF ANY WATERWAY AND UNLIKELY TO SPREAD FURTHER. THE PRODUCT WAS SPREAD ALONG APPROX. 100 FT. OF THE DITCH WITH FOOTPRINTS FROM THE PRODUCT TOWARDS THE BACK DOOR OF BI-MART. 1800 WAS RELEASED. MR MCCORMICK ARRIVED ONSCENE AND PRESENTED ME WITH PHOTOS (ATTACHED)(NONE ATTACHED) TAKEN AT APPROX 0900 ON 2-15-03 SHOWING 8-10 PILES OF PRODUCT. MR MCCORMICK STATED THAT A FRIEND OF HIS HAD MENTIONED THAT HE HAD DUMPED 8 BAGS OF THE PRODUCT ON 2-14-03 AFTER BEING INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY A SUPERVISOR BECAUSE THE BAGS HAD GOTTEN WET AND COULD NOT BE SOLD. MR MCCORMICK INFORMED HIS FRIEND THAT DUMPING THE BAGS ON THE GROUND WAS ILLEGAL AND BI-MART NEEDED TO CLEAN IT UP. IN THE LATE MORNING ON 2-15-03 MR MCCORMICK WAS TOLD BY HIS FRIEND THAT HE HAD INFORMED HIS SUPERVISOR OF THE PROBLEM AND SEVERAL EMPLOYEES WERE SENT TO SPREAD THE PRODUCT AROUND SO IT WOULD NOT BE NOTICEABLE. THIS WAS THE CONDITION THAT WE FOUND ON ARRIVAL. BI-MART'S LACK OF APPROPRIATE CLEAN-UP WAS THE REASON THAT MR MCCORMICK GAVE FOR CONTACTING OEMS. AFTER OUR CONTACT, BI-MART ARRANGED FOR CLEAN-UP BY NORTHWEST HAZMAT INC. (SEE ATTACHED NARRATIVE) (NO ATTACHMENT).

RESPONDED TO FIRE CREWS ON-SCENE REPORTING A LIQUID OXYGEN LEAK COMING FROM A NEWLY INSTALLED LOX TANK FOR A NEW FACILITY RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED. ON ARRIVAL THE HAZMAT TEAM ISOLATED THE AREA BASED ON OXY READING TAKEN AROUND THE CONTAINER, FROM INSIDE THE NEW STRUCTURE AND DOWN WIND OF THE LEAK. AN EXPOSURE LINE HAD BEEN ESTBLISHED BY ON SCENE FIRE CREWS. COMMAND WAS IN PLACE AND THE HOSPITAL SECURITY STAFF HAD ISOLATED THE AREA. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE A 1,500 GALLON TANK OF LOX HAD RECENTLY BEEN FILLED. SINCE THE SERVICE TO THE BUILDING WAS NOT CONNECTED NO O2 WAS BEING USED. THIS CAUSED AN OVER-PRESSURE WHICH OPENED THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. DUE TO THE EXTEREMLY HIGH REALTIVE HUMITDITY THE VALVE FROZE OPEN AND GASEOUS O2 CONTINUED TO LEAK EVEN AFTER THE EXCESS PRESSURE WAS RELIEVED. THE HAZMAT TEAM CONTACTED BOC TECHNICIANS AND THEY RESPONDED TO THE SITE AND TURNED OFF THE PROPER VALVE AND RESET THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THE HAZMAT TEAM WITH 6 MEMBERS AND ONE FIRE CREW REMAINED ON SCENE TO CONTINUE ATMOSPHERIC MONITORING AND TO ISLOATE THE AREA UNTIL THE VALVE WAS RESET. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES. OERS WAS NOTIFIED AS A COURTERY BECAUSE THE MEDIA REPORTED THE INCIDENT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND NO ONE WAS DECONTAMINATED.

HAZMAT 9 CONTACTED BY C-6 AND INSTRUCTED TO CALL JAE OF OREGON IN REGARDS TO AN IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF PLATING SOLUTION. LYNN ST. GEORGES, ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY SPECIALIST FOR THE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED VIA CELL PHONE. SHE DESCRIBES AN APPROX 1-2 GALLON IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF PLATING SOLUTION AT APPROX 0600 THIS MORNING. SHE STATES THEY HAD A SPILL OF THIS PLATING SOLUTION THAT WAS CLEANED UP BY COMPANY PERSONNEL. PRODUCT WAS MOPPED UP AND PLACED INTO A MOP BUCKET AND DISPOSED OF DOWN A DRAIN THAT WENT INTO AN APPROX. 2500 GALLON ACIDIC HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WASTE CONTAINER. THEIR CONCERN ACCORDING TO JEREMY HORN, CHEMICAL ENGINEER FOR THE COMPANY, WAS THAT THIS PLATING SOLUTION WHEN MIXED WITH THE ACIDIC WASTE WILL PRODUCE CYANIDE GAS. THE PLATIF SOLUTION CONSISTS OF POTASSIUM AUROCYANIDE, A COBALT COMPLEX, AND POTASSIUM OXYLATE. THE TANK HAD APPROX 1700-1800 GALLONS OF THIS WASTE IN IT, LEAVING ABOUT 4-5 FEET OF HEAD SPACE FOR THE CYANIDE GAS TO GATHER.
THIS TANK WAS CONTAINED IN A CHEMICAL STORAGE ROOM WITH OTHER LARGE CONTAINERS OF VARIOUS OTHER CHEMICALS. THE ROOM HAS ITS OWN RECIRCULATING VENTILATION SYSTEM WITH THE ONLY POSSIBILITY OF AN OFF-GAS BEING THROUGH A FEW VENT PIPES LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. ANY AMOUNT RELEASED OUT OF THESE VENT PIPES WOULD BE NEGILIGIBLE BASED ON THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF THE SOLN AND THE VENTILIATION SYSTEM. THE TANK AND PIPING IS UNMONITORED BY PLANT PERSONNEL.
E34, SUPPORT 9, AND HM9 RESPONDED TO LOCATION. FOSS CHEMICAL CLEAN-UP WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND ENROUTE. MR. HORN EXPLAINED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES MET IF POSSIBLE. OBJECTIVE 1 WAS TO SHUT DOWN ALL OF THE SYSTEMS IN THE CHEMICAL ROOM BY PUSHING AN EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON. OBJECTIVE 2 WAS TO CLOSE TWO VALVES ON A FILTER PRESS TO SHUT OFF ANY MORE FLOW TO TANKS AND THEN TO MANUALLY OPERATE A HYDRAULIC PUMP TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE IN THE FILTER TO APPRO 6000PSI CAUSING THE FILTER NOT TO REOPEN ON ITS OWN. OBJECTIVE 3 WAS TO MAKE ACCESS TO THE CONTAINER AND MONITOR FOR CYANIDE GAS INSIDE THE ROOM ITSELF AND AT ONE OF THE VERTICAL VENT PIPES, MONITORING NEXT TO THE VENT PIPE WHERE IT ENTERS THE TANK.
OTHER UNITS WERE CONTACTED TO PROPERLY AND SAFELY PREPARE FOR A LEVEL A ENTRY.
THE HM TEAM PREPARED TO MEET OBJECTIVES AND MADE ENTRY. C-6 WAS COMMAND. ALL OBJECTIVES WERE MET WITHOUT ANY CYANIDE BEING DETECTED BY SENSYDYNE PULLS. INFORMATION TAKEN FROM COMPANY AND SITE WAS TURNED OVER TO THEM.

THE TRUCK OPERATOR STATED THAT HE WAS MOVING THE OLD TANK IN PREPARATION TO PLACING THE NEW ONE WHEN IT SLIPPED OUT OF THE SLING SETUP AND FELL ONTO ITS TOP, BREAKING OFF THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. ONCE THE VALVE WAS OFF ALL OF THE CONTENTS OF THE TANK DISBURSED. THEY THEN CALLED 911 TO NOTIFY US. ON OUR ARRIVAL THE VAPOR WAS NO LONGER IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, IT HAD DISBURSED. WE SECURED THE AREA SO THAT WE COULD EVALUATE THE EXISTING CONDITIONS. ONCE WE DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER, WE ALLOWED THE OWNER AND OPERATOR TO REENTER THEIR WORK AREA, WE THEN DEPARTED.

The original call was for a patient unconscuious having a seizure. The first engine on-scene began treating the patient when two other Costco patrons became ill. The Company officer ordered the facility evacuated, moved the patients outside and requested additional resources to include the HazMat team. The facility was completely evacuated. The second arriving company entered the facility in turnouts and SCBA to ensure there were no other victims in the facility. After Command was transferred, the facility had been cleared and the HazMat team had arrived the IC requested that the HMRT enter the facility to do some air monitoring to try and determine the origin of possible contamination. During the evacuation process Costco employees were loaded on buses and moved to a safe location. At about 1300 one of the Costco employees complained of a burning sensation, and headache which was the chief complaint of the other victims. An ambulance unit was sent to the bus location. On arrival several other Costco employees complained of similair symptoms. A separate incident was established to handle the Costco victims and several of them were transported to the hospital. In all approximately 18 patients were transported to the hospital. Also, 6 firefighters reported they were experiencing problems similair to the victims and were checked out. They returned to duty with no other complications.
The entry team took several air monitoring devices into the building to include a refrigeration gas monitor. The following vapors, gases and fumes were ruled out during air testing: CO, OXY, Flammable, NH3, CFC, corrosives. and phosgene. There was no indication of any containers or devices that could have caused the patient's symptoms. Law Enforcement, Public Health, Dept. of Agriculture, and Costco Management inspected the entire facility looking for any possible problem and nothing was found.
All patients fully recovered and were released from the hospital by late afternoon. Command turned the facility over to the Marion County Health Dept. and the Department of Agriculture for further investigation and the Fire Crews were put back in service.
To date no cause has been determined as to what caused the patient illnessess. Mechanical engineers checked all refrigeration units. They reported that none had leaked. There was not indication that any of the merchandise had leaked or were spilled.
