He has no record of a spill on 10/6/82 on Sullivant Avenue, nor does he have ony reporl for 10/10/82. The only record of a spill he has is on 9/10/83 at 2879 Sullivant Avenue. The capacitor exploded and dumped S.l gallons of PCBfluld. There were no Injuries, there was no one around at the time. Mr. Rearick was loter sent to the site, since EPA, Ohio, hod objected to the original cleanup of the tiding on the house next door to the spill. (The spill was in an alleyway, so the fluid hod spilled an vegetation, earth, and the side of o house. EPA, Ohio, hod approved of their cleanup of the vegetation and earth. They removed approximately 5 barrels of bushes and earth and replaced same. The house siding was cleaned with solvent/detergent. Mr. Rearick went to the site after EPA, Ohio, disapproved of the house siding cleanup. They cleaned it again and received EPA approval. According to Mr. Rearick, there were no injuries to anyone.

American Electric Company did not report the sale to EPA. Initially, arson was suspected, however, this was never proven. One or two 3,000-oallon tanks containing PCBs were located inside the building. These tanks did burn. The combustion was supported mainly by petroleum. The main storoge area was outside the building and contained a 50-60,000 gallon tank. This was kept wet by firemen and did not burn or leak. The clean-up of the site was supervised by EPA. The contamination assessment of the neighborhood found light traces of PCBs but below Federal limits. Two men were burned in the explosion, one seriously. There have never been any complaints of PCB-related injuries, even by the two men who were burned.

She explained that a truck (poorly loaded) was corryina transformers. Some of these transformers fell off the truck, ruptured, and spilled (6-10 gals, of fluid). She sold thot she hod been on the job only obout a week and remembered the Incident well. It did make the papers and coused quite a stir. She hod a picture showing the truck driver (who hod no shirt on) having his forearms washed down by two men in decontamination suits. She did state that there were absolutely no injuries and that there were no reported burns or other adverse health effects by the truck driver. AoogQgQfltom a transformer bounced off a truck onto the freeway, spilling approximately 13 gallons PCB-laden oil on freeway. Holf of the remaining transformers on the truck leaked an undetermined amount of PCB. The eastbound lanes of the freeway were sealed for a five-mile stretch between the Interstate 205 interchange ond Foirview for about 24 hours. About a quarter-mile stretch of the roadway was resurfaced. (Officials reported the concentration of PCBs in the oil was 300 ppm.) It was possible that several hundred motorists drove over the oil material. The spill covered an area about 250 feet long, but passing cars probably spread the PCBs more than o mile down the freeway. Oregon Highway Division crews spread 25 50-lb. bags of absorbent moterial over the spill to remove as much as possible from the roadway. Authorities said the leaking transformers would be loaded in steel containers and that the HONS 027256 truck driver, who was cited for carrying an insecure lood, would be ollowed to drive them to an authorized disposal site in Nevada. By Saturday evening, three people who sold they might have been exposed to the oil had contacted the Multnomah County Sheriff's Dept., one of whom complained of a headache and sore throat. Motorists who were on the roadway in the area of the spill were urged to run their vehicles through a car wash, avoid any direct contoct with the oil, and have their vehicles tested by EPA officials after they had been cleaned.

One lady, who lived at 276S N. 70th St., said thot she was standing on her porch at the time of the incident. She was upset over the fact that she may have been exposed to PCBs. (The lady was a nurse.) According to Dr. Lingle, there were no Injuries. The NRC report listed one injury and the only thing Dr. Lingle can think of is that they are counting this lody's report as being injured/exposed.

They were making renovations, taking out old machinery, overhead electrical, etc., when a roof leak developed. This leak dripped on six (6) men. Upon checking the roof, the transformer located on the roof was noted to be leaking a fluid, hod mixed with some water on the roof, and had dripped down on the floor area on these six men. Ford Motor Company examined these men in their medical facilities, had the men dispose of their clothing and shower. Upon examination, there were no burns or octual injuries. The men were reimbursed for their clothing and told of their exposure, as was the company they worked for. A letter was received by Ford Motor Company from the Michigan Dept, of Public Health telling them that they (Ford Motor Co.) hod done everything according to the rules (regarding the cleanup).

(It happened in front of their previous locotion.) She stated that her supervisor actually called the authorities since he knew that the transformer ruptured. Ms. Russell said that a car (traveling at about 80 mph in a 3S mph zone) struck a light pole, knocking down a transformer and rupturing it. (The pole octuolty fell and electric wires were on top of the auto. The "jaws of life" were used to remove the man from the auto.) As Ms. Russell recalled, the man had only a minor cut on his hand and was walking when he got out of the auto. She said that there was a small amount of substance, identified as a PCB-containing liquid, draining from the transformer. Authorities covered the road with sand, but never (as of June 1984) did any digging or earth removal. They said that the sand would take care of the problem. The above was the only possible injury involving this incident. MONS 027265 PC8 RELEASED IN WHICH INJURIES OCCURRED FOLLOW4JP INQUIRY Event No. (Per EPA Data Base)) 12 Dote of Incident!
