Call the supplier/delivery company right away.
It is his problem.

While they may have had a case at the time of the spill; (you ordered more than the tank would hold; you did not provide a strapping chart so the driver did not know how much the tank would hold) the moment the driver left your place they messed up.

Any and all spills must be reported to the company and cleaned up. The proper way to treat dirt is to dig it out and incinerate it on or off site. If the EPA finds out about the spill in the future you will have the bill because it will be to late to go back on the delivery company.

If the supplier gives you any heartache just tell you will need to call the law and that should get them moving. The EPA will make them remove and replace the dirt.

By the way I would not mention you tried any clean up action.

As a side note..............
I recommend all tanks be put on a slab with a cinder block wall high enough to hold all product in the tank. It reduces the chances of your yard becoming a EPA superfund clean up site.
