Rollover Response:

On March 12, 2012, our Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team responded to a tanker rollover on Cummings Skyway near Highway 4. Our Hazardous Materials team worked with the Contra Costa County Fire Department to off-load 6,000 gallons of diesel additive before uprighting the tanker. The product involved was both combustible and toxic. With rainstorms on their way, extra effort was made to prevent any spilled material from entering the nearby storm water system. Because of the prompt and careful response of our Hazardous Materials team and other agencies, this incident did not result in any environmental impact.
