Investigation Summary
On October 23, 1990, at the ICTF railroad facility, there was an apparent accidental release of ethyl mercaptan from leaking 55-gallon drums in a container on a flatbed railcar. Employees #1 and #2 were treated topically and released. The Los Angeles County Haz/Mat team and the fire department were notified, according to procedure. It was determined that this facility had a history of fugitive emission events, possibly related to an adjacent refinery. As of May 3, 1991, interviews with the County Haz/Mat team indicated some ambiguity as to the origin of this release.
