Spill Action Comments editted Complaint ID 18-0058 2/1/2018-Anonymous caller about trailer dumping sewage on lawn. There was a previous spill reported in the last year about an RV draining sewage. Will try to get the inspector who went to that complaint to join for site visit tomorrow. There was no sewage from the RV trailer. However, the cap for the sewer clean out removed and allowing rain/ stormwater entering. I told the customer that the sewer cleanout needed to be capped so that no rain water would enter the sanitary system. There is a lot of ground water because the gutters are not functioning and a French drain or sump with pump to move the ground/rain water to the street should be considered. There appears to be some foundation issues from the water. Referred to drainage group to see if customer could qualify for a curb cut to help move water to the street. Supervisor for drainage stated no. The customer did cap sewer.

Within 15 minutes of the initial call, two other calls were received reporting the same sheen. Source Control Reps (SCRs) notified Ecology of the large oil sheen on the Thea Foss Waterway. SCRs initially responded at 326 East D Street and observed a diesel odor and sheen hugging the shoreline; tide heading out at this point in time. SCRs checked the waterway from the overview at the 11th Street Bridge; sheen was only visible north of the bridge. From the field investigation, the origin of spill appears to have been on the Eastside of the Thea Foss Waterway between 1002 East D Street and 326 E D Street. Tacoma Fuel Dock was visited as sheen appeared to be prevalent nearby; per Fuel Dock Employee, no spills at the dock were observed that morning prior to the visit, and only one Tribal boat was fueled with gasoline at approximately 0800. The following outfalls were checked for source of contamination: 230, 235, 237A, 237B, 243, and 245; no sheen was observed originating from the outfalls or on the Westside shoreline of the Thea Foss Waterway.

18-0068 2/7/18-TMiller-I met with owner onsite on 2/7/18 and he showed me a concrete vault in his side yard that collects large amounts of water during rain events. He states that this water is causing settling issues at his house and he has spent significant amounts of money trying to remedy the issue with his foundation. I believe that this is an improperly abandoned septic tank, while performing a records search I found that as late as 1999 this residence was on septic. He believes that there is an overflow line located in Storm manhole that connects directly to this vault. Mike Sanders and Dave Waller are going to smoke test this asset at 3pm on 2/7/18 to confirm whether or not that is the case. 2/8/18-TMiller-CSS crews smoke tested the manhole in question and proved there is no connection to the abandoned septic tank onsite.

I was able to get most oil with pads and when I opened the storm lid there was no product on top of the water in the sump. To be cautious, I added a sump skimmer, but was able to clean the product. I spoke the home owner and asked her to move the pan and bring it in the garage when it rains. She stated that the pan is under vehicle and usually is pulled in, but her husband left at 4am and it wasn't raining. She is going to move pan inside and sump skimmer will be removed tomorrow. Pictures show before and after clean up.

Vehicle was gone. I contacted Genes Towing 253-272-8633 who confirmed towing the vehicle and were concerned about being informed of the remaining debris and foam. Two vehicles were sent to the site to finish the cleanup of debris and foam. On my return I picked up the used tarp and absorbent boom.
18-0104 Report from neighbor, concerned sewage from next door is flowing to his yard. Causing odors, wet ground. Transmission Crew: three houses connected to same private side sewer line. Middle house is house with sewage leaking from the garage. Last house is complainant receiving sewage from neighbor. Neighbor has been informed and is aware of surfacing effluent, but has not addressed the issue. Sewage can be seen flowing from garage of house across driveway to property of neighbor. Odors were detectable. I will search for contact ownership. In telephone conversation, we discuss private surfacing effluent, flow to neighbors property, public nuisance and clearing the private side sewer of blockage. Owner agrees to address the situation voluntarily. Neighbor leaves message stating there is no more surfacing effluent and the issue has been resolved.
18-0106 TPCHD Vehicle Fuel Leak. No Impact to the stormwater system. Steps were taken to contain the spill.
18-0107 Report that the used oil container in the shop was overfilled and spilled into the bay and bleed through the wall. He wanted to see if a contractor should be called for additional cleaning. MDS - Onsite I was shown the spill. Most of the oil had been cleaned up and disposed of. The pit in the floor needed to be cleaned out and the floor and the walls needed to be cleaned. Wall is cinder block and oil leaked to the outside, nearby CB would go to sanitary sewer, but oil did not travel across pavement. I agreed that a professional contractor needed to be called in to cleanout the containment pit and clean the floor and walls. I also suggested that once the floor and wall was cleaned, that a sealer be put down to prevent seepage through the wall.

Upon arrival there was evidence of a surfacing effluent. Due to weather conditions the sewage was frozen to the ground but pieces of toilet paper could be clearly seen. The transmission crew that called in the issue had cleaned the catch basin prior to my arrival. I met with an employee of the business and explained that cleaning the surfacing effluent was the responsibility of the business and should be done as soon as possible. According to transmission sewage entered the catch basin so I called DOE and reported an impact to our storm system and received ERTS #679397. 2/26/18, Received a call from business informing me that cleanup of the sidewalk and catch basin has been completed. During the call I was informed that the blockage that caused the surfacing effluent was about 20' into the street which was very close to our sewer main.

The yard is dirt but with the latest weather large mud puddles have formed throughout the property. I met and talked with an employee of the business who stated that there is a regular flow of truck traffic entering and leaving the property. I was given the contact information of the business owner and called and explained that mud and muddy water are not allowed on the City streets and he needed to bring a sweeper to control the mud leaving his site. He stated he would have some employees sweep with regular brooms until he could get a sweeper onsite. 3/8/18, Drove by the site and it looked a little better but this site will require constant supervision through the wet season. 3/16/2018 bp: Source Control received a complaint from Streets and Grounds about trackout from the lot. I responded and documented the trackout, but did not see any employees in the yard. 3/18/2018 bp: Driving to the CTP, I noticed significant trackout coming from the lot.

Spill Action Comments editted Complaint ID 18-0110 Received call from COT Transmission reporting an SSO located in an easement behind Ferdinand St that occurred 03/12/2018 at 7:15pm. Call originated from a resident reporting a puddle of sewage behind her back yard fence. City of Tacoma Transmission crew arrived on scene at 7:15pm on 03/12/2018 and verified sewage had oozed out of a MH upstream from MH#6755396 that created a 3ft x 3ft puddle, approximately 1-inch deep, with no visible flow from the crew upon arrival. Transmission used vactor to relieve the main that was plugged by going through MH#6755396; line cleared at 8:00pm. Per crew, line was plugged with sludge and possible root invasion issues were noted. Lime spread on affected area for treatment as SSO was contained to a puddle of accumulation in grassy area with no impact to receiving waters or storm system. 03/13/2018: Source Control Representative conducted site visit for documentation; no odor was noted at this site visit. 03/13/2018 @ 1413: Call to Ecology to report SSO; ERTS# 679845. This line has been added to maintenance plan; 03/14/2018 crew on site addressing root issues and performing maintenance.

18-0115 Water department called @ 12 to report repair to start in an hour and could they pump water to sanitary sewer. Stated that the work should take an hour. 3/15/2018- Went on site to verify that the water pumped from the hole was going to sanitary manhole and not storm, as there was a storm MH nearby. Upon arrival, the water was being pumped to the sanitary and there was a burlap bag over the end of the hose to reduce TSS. The set up was good. However, further down the street there was the dump truck parked along Highland and the rear tailgate area of truck was leaking very turbid water into the curb line and then into a storm catch basin. This catch basin was full but not leaving the sump yet. So I called sewer transmission to come out and suck up the Strom CB. I had the Water department move the dump truck back up next to the work site; they put straw waddles under the front of the back tires of the dump truck. This captured the sediment and it routed the leaking water back into the work pit, which was being pumped to the sanitary MH. There was two burlap bags wrapped up around the pump and hose connection in two areas to avoid sediment from getting onto the street. Confirmed voluntary compliance.
18-0113 Joe Hagala called to report an oil spill at the intersection of 25th and Jefferson.

She said that the milk must have been thrown in the dumpster this morning and slowly began to leak. It's believed to be no more then a couple gallons of milk. Putting milk in the dumpster is not their normal practice and will be discussed with staff. Drain-Pro was already on site setting up the vactor truck. Business had already switched off their line and were planning to pressure wash the milk to the catch basin before vactoring. She had already called the City to pick up the dumpster. No milk identified in the outfall. No impact to surface water. EB called Ecology at 12:15pm and relayed all this information.
18-0117 3/16/18 11:15 - Call from a septic pumper that it appeared another pump truck had leaked vacuum pump oil at the septic hauler pumping station.

Some track out by several pumping trucks had occurred. As no responsible party was identified, I threw down throw and go, worked it in, and swept of the material for solid waste disposal. 3/16/18
18-0120 3/19/2018 bp: sewage coming out of their toilet and flowing into a stormwater catch basin in the parking lot. I reported it to the Department of Ecology, incident # 18- 0990. I spoke to the property manager on the phone after Transmission cleared the blockage in the main. She told me that she first became aware of the problem 7 days before (3/12) when water had been leaking from the seam under the toilet. Her maintenance guy turned the building's water off because he thought it was coming from a broken pipe. A couple days later, someone called the fire department about water flowing out the door. Somebody suggested calling the sewer department, so she called CoT Transmission today at 3:30 PM and the crew had the blockage cleared by 4:30 PM. After the crew cleared the blockage, they washed the parking lot and cleaned the storm system. The crew found a significant amount of grease blocking manhole and saw more grease flowing down the system after they cleared the line. I left a claims packet and my card inside the building.

After documenting the complaint, I called the sewer crew back to clean out the catch basin. The closest building to the CB was a Church, but I didn't see any evidence that the sewage came from there. No vehicles or containers were found near the scene.

I informed him that steps needed to be put in place to prevent rain from washing fire residue into the storm system. He said they would boom the property and tarp the trucks until they could be disposed of. I also suggested diverting sheet flow from street so it did not wash thru the site. I also asked him to sweep up remaining debris in gutter line from fire runoff. He asked about the level of cleanup and I informed him that either the TPCHD or WDOE would guide him on that because Environmental Compliance is not involved in determining the level of contaminated soil removal.

18-0168 4/17/18 @ 2:45 pm COT Solid Waste supervisor called Source Control to report a small hydraulic fluid spill that happened earlier this morning at the corner of S 8th and Court A. There is a compactor located in a fenced enclosure and a hydraulic line is believed to have been compromised by rats. Less than 5 gallons leaked and it was cleaned up using floor dry. The pad under the compactor has a wastewater strip drain.
4/19/18 @ 8:30 AM - KB visited the site to assure there were no concerns with stormwater impact. There was no concern with spilled hydraulic fluid but the pad that the compactor sits on is in need of a cleaning. There is a strip drain that is connected to wastewater but staining on the driveway and a closer look at the strip drain suggest the drain may not be draining properly as needed to protect the storm system. There was also a concern with rats and rat holes in the landscaping area next to the compactor. While I was there a giant rat ran by me from under the compactor. There were a couple bait stations bu it is not known if there is any sort of routine maintenance on the stations. While I was onsite I was approached by manager of restaurant who says rats are a significant problem in the area specifically around the compactor. He also showed me the entrance gate for the enclosure that does not stay shut and locked as designed. He said this open gate is drawing other people to use the compactor that are not authorized and do not help maintain housekeeping standards. I will call and request that the pad and strip drain get cleaned. I will also suggest rat management have a second look and lock for gate gets repaired. 5/7/18 - KB requested compactor pad be cleaned and strip drain so stormwater from the pad drains properly to the wastewater system.

It is draining into the Alley. 6/21/2018- Site visit to the site. Upon arriving in the alley next to the property there was a product that appeared to be a fine material/powder different than paint, as originally reported. I walked to the property and introduced myself as a City of Tacoma Inspector, along with the co-inspector with me. We spoke to a gentlemen that was doing work in a covered area next to the front door. I asked about the work being done and the cleaning process. He stated that he was helping the home owner and went inside to get the home owner. I spoke with the home owner who stated there was no painting, but tile cutting. He stated that he was unaware material was getting to the alley. We walked to the alley and he said yes it was the material from his rinsing. There are two drains in his driveway that connect to each other and ultimate go to a pipe that drains to the alley. This system is perfectly set up to drain rain runoff from his driveway which is a large paved area. However, if and when doing any cutting or remodel work outside in this area no cleaning and rinsing of material should not occur that will result in going into either of the two drains. The owner was apologetic and stated that he wasn't fully aware. I gave him an educational pamphlet on how our separate systems work. He was than instructed to get a wire brush and or broom and try to sweep up as much of the fine material and dispose in the garbage. The alley was paved and it was a very long distance to the storm drain and nothing went into the storm drain. Later that day. I returned to witness that cleaning had occurred and was on going at the time I showed up. Customer came into compliance and work is complete.

Upon driving by the railroad ties are actually on the property, so if anything did happen the person who changed the oil may have poured it on their own property. I took pictures and saw no oil. The sidewalks and the street and CB were clean. No further up action. I suggested if reported again to have BMP for proper disposal of oil for the resident, but there was no proof when I was on site.

I was on site about an hour after the sighting and the weather was not very warm. However, I was not informed if the citizen dumping had taken the grate off or not. I did see a bucket turned upside down next to one of the RVs that was empty and flies were flying around it. I just could not find out where the material, if it was from this location, was dumped. I knocked on the RV but no one answered. I did get a picture of the license plate for the RV. I may pass that onto road compliance or code compliance. I did call back sewer transmission and ask for a specific location.

Spill Action Comments editted Complaint ID 18-0290 Staff called the spill line to report a broken water line at the Cleveland Way Septage Facility. A driver had noticed the broken pipe and called it in to Operations. The driver was also unable to dump his load, but it might have been unrelated to the broken water pipe. After failing to dump, the driver drove off the pad without disconnecting his hose and broke the connection fitting. The hose fitting and water pipe were fixed and the station was back in service by the end of the day. 7/12/2018 bp: I met Operations staff on site and determined that the water coming out of the ground wasn't wastewater, it was potable water from a water line. Operations staff found the water meter for the site and shut the water off, but this shut off the water to the decant facility as well. I spoke to a Transmission supervisor about the interruption in water service, and he came down to the decant facility to assess the situation. Maintenance staff told me they would request a Vactor truck from Transmission to clear dirt from the area around the broken pipe so they could perform maintenance. A temporary fix to the water pipe was put in place by the end of the day. During a planned shut down of the facility next week, maintenance staff will put a more permanent solution in place: a curb stop valve followed by a pressure regulator. The curb stop valve will allow City staff to shut off water to the station without shutting down the decant facility, and the pressure regulator should help prevent damage to pipes by decreasing water pressure from 100 PSI to around 60 PSI.

I meet with Gino and we looked at the drainage in back of garage, I suggested he fixes his roof drain and run his downspout to the road to eliminate any excess water contributing to the issue. Also gave him my work number and told him to call me when his garage floods again, so I can see the source. 11/27/2018 MSanders- Did a site visit and visited with Gino, I recommended him to fix and replace the rear gutter and run out the drain towards the street. 12/3/2018 MSanders- Completed a site visit and noted Gino has not repaired the gutter talked with him for a moment and observed no run off from the pump station towards his property. 12/11/2018 MSanders- Called by the customer on a rainy day low flow and he was experiencing ground water flow subsurface (possibly a artesian spring) claims it coming in from CoT side of property, I observed absolutely no flow on the Grandview pump station side. I recommended to the home owner to fix his roof drain, concrete the hole in his garage and seal it, and or install drainage along the outside foundation. It appears he wants the city to pay for all the work to fix his private issue. If he was to dig drainage on CoT side he stated he would like the City to remove the hedges, I will find out a POC and close the loop with the customer and close the drainage complaint. 18-0370 Report a business on South Tacoma Way washing a vehicle on the side of the road.
