They found a 20- gallon spill of an unknown substance on the roadway and an abandoned 55-gallon drum and three other containers left on the side of the road. Crews isolated the area, and a hazardous materials specialist identified the substance as a petrochemical liquid that posed no threat to the community, the city said in a statement.
The substance was removed from the roadway and didn’t get into nearby storm drains, that lead to the Petaluma River.
