Sunday night there was a one hour upset of a CP sulfur unit. Odor
very strong around Vista del Rio, but only light fleeting in Tormey.
Air Qual. responded to call on a Sun. night. Did anyone else smell
anything between 8 and 10?
I felt it was a mixture of SO2 and H2S. Here’s a time line:
North fence line picked up a sharp doublet for SO2 lasting between 8
and 9 PM. Maximum of 325 ppb.
Confirmed by BAAQMD SO2 monitor in Crockett with 196 ppb avg. for 9
PM and 78 ppb for 10 PM reading.
We got strong odor at 8:30 on Kendall.
CP called in Level 1 warning at about 8:45. But chose not to activate
sensitive receptor list.
