COURTESY CALL TO THE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (NRC) MADE AFTER SPILLING APPROXIMATELY 25 GALLONS OF SULFURIC ACID.
A courtesy call was made to the National Response Center that was made to report a sulfuric acid spill at the plant water treatment area. The Corporate Environmental and Regulatory Affairs Department, which the licensee calls ERAD, was notified. ERAD, in turn, notified the Minnesota State Pollution Control Agency. The Minnesota State Pollution Control Agency suggested a courtesy call to the National Response Center.
Approximately 25 gallons of sulfuric acid was spilled (reportable quantity is 65 gallons of greater). A small amount, less than 10 gallons, of acid drained to their Turbine Building Sump of which a very small amount may have been released.
