Details: SUMMARY: Oil slick in reservoir #1 DETAILS: Kathy called to report on the results of the VOC testing after the oil slick was discovered on reservoir #1 the last week of October. 5 samples were taken on 11/6, 4 from outside the boomed area and 1 from within. The 4 outside were all Non-detect. The 1 inside was below the reporting limit. The boom was removed, as it was difficult to maintain in the wind. A sample was also taken at the 2PIS routine intake sampling point, and it was also ND. The source of the oil sheen is believed to be from a vehicle parked on the dam. ACTION NEEDED: none
