Accident Classified As: Below Reportable Quantity (BRQ)
Cause of Problem: Human Factors
A lube oil spill occurred after a truck driver left the dome lid of his truck open while transporting the product from Calumet Princeton. The driver discovered the dome lid was open prior to leaving the facility and that any oil spilled was negligible.
Discharge Preventable - No Information Given
Notes/Remedial Actions
United Petroleum Transport self reported about 35-40 gallons of Casol 5550 (lube oil) discharged from dome lid for about 5 miles when discovered by driver. Spill was BRQ. Company report indicated that truck did not leave facility prior to discovery of dome lid. The second report from the facility basically rescinds the first report.
