Narrative
A water/sediment sampler plug failed at the bottom of the corrosion liquid debris and coupon holder, resulting in the release. The holder was isolated to stop the release. The plug was removed and sent to the holder's manufacturer who determined the release was caused by corrosion of the plug threads which prevented it from correctly tightening to manufacturer's specifications. An environmental contractor cleaned up the free product with absorbent pads and the impacted soil was excavated and put into a roll-off container. Estimated amount of soil remediated is 3 to 5 cubic yards. Supplemental-final report filed to correct typos in narrative above.
