Biosolids Spill Report 250408
Page 1 | 3
MB&Sons trucking owner Batt Barton called me at 13:14 and informed me of a biosolids
spill at the intersection of 850 east & Pioneer Crossing. The spill was less than a cubic yard
of 15% biosolids and was isolated to the right lane. The nearest storm drain is circled in
blue. The extent of the spill was contained to the location shown in orange.
Approximately 13:30, Timpanogos staff arrived with 2 vac trucks. One was stationed down
hill from the spill and one uphill. A dirt berm was built at the downhill truck to intercept
water and biosolids. The downhill truck vacuumed all material washed from the uphill truck
as shown in the photo. No water or biosolids were near stormwater inlets.
Material recovered was fed back into TSSD treatment plant.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Sam Grimes

INCIDENT SUMMARY
Caller reported that he was driving westbound on Pioneer Crossing SR-145 behind a haul truck. A brown soil looking material was sporadically
dropping out from the rear liftgate. When he got home and out of his vehicle, his vehicle had an odor which smelled like sewage. Ran it through the
carwash two times, though did not fully eliminate the odor. DO notified UDOT Region Stormwater Coordinator. UDOT said this sounds somewhat
familiar - there has been an on-going issue with spills of bio-solids in which UDOT has been calling Timpanogos Special Service District (with
personnel trained to remediate materials described) to dispatch and clean up similar incidents. They have been experiencing difficulty attempting
manage the issue.
