Narrative

This is being submitted at MSHA's insistence to terminate Citation No 9475521. A Sept storm caused an overflow of the Total Containment Pond, resulting in water-trona solution to spill into the desert. The water-trona solution is not hazardous to persons but required Solvay to contact Wyoming DEQ and BLM (Landowner) to comply with Solvay's environmental permit as it left the site.
