    Complaint Description and Writeup

    9-5-17: TDEC received notification from Solvay regarding a spill involving 50 lbs. of Hydroxylamine Sulfate into a storm drain leading to their fire suppression pond. This caused a fish kill within the pond. Big Bigby Creek was not affected. TEG and JCA met with Mr. Rasmussen onsite, who informed them of Solvay's intent to treat the chemical within the pond. This process would require approx. two weeks. During that time, stormwater at the site would be diverted away form the pond.
