Narrative
At approximately at approximately 9:50 am on the corner of stelton rd and jesse way in piscataway a sub-contractor working for lucas brothers was milling outside of the scope of the mark out and hit a drip riser.

The damage was pinned it off it was slightly misting until 11:50 pm when complete repair was made. � the final repair started with finding a safe depth that was below the level of saturation, which didn't require shoring, we excavated a clearing to that depth, an 1-1/4" stop-off plug was inserted in the damaged, 1-1/4" drip riser, the damaged riser was cut at a location that revealed good pipe condition, and an 1- 1/4" dresser end cap was installed over the drip riser as the final repair method. � the initial estimate was a discharge of 30 gallons, later upgraded to approximately 50-60 gallons (the capacity of the pot). � the leak left oil pooled on top of the soil in the area of the removed asphalt. The leak left a very fine intermittent oily residue on the grass, shrubs and trees of the condominium development as well as some of the external walls of the buildings and one vehicle. � the storm drain grate immediately adjacent to the pot manhole was assumed impacted by the spill. Estimates indicate that only a minimal amount of oil was discharged to the drain, several ounces maximum. � location clean-up has been completed, area samples are being tested to verify that the areas affected are clean and no further cleanup is required.
