An abandoned trailer outside a water treatment plant in Martinez sparked a possible hazardous material investigation on Tuesday.
After running test on a sample, the liquid substance found in the container was not hazardous, the Contra Costa Fire Protection District said. Authorities temporarily shut Pacheco Avenue from Howe Road to Morello Avenue while they investigated what substance was left in the trailer.
The investigation started at 9:30 a.m. when someone reported the presence of the abandoned trailer. There had been three trailers outside the plant, but two were towed away without incident. The hazmat team was summoned after discovering that the third trailer was not empty, according to the Contra Costa Fire Protection District.
