| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2006 June | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Workers at the facility reportedly became aware of a leak at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, June 12, 2006 after noticing a problem from a gauge on one of the storage tanks. The spilled product was within an earthen reservoir around tanks on the property. Emergency crews have worked around the clock since the incident to clean up the spill. An additional area of contamination was detected late Monday about one mile northwest of the site where a field tile was releasing gasoline to a drainage ditch near a small pond. Surface water in the area flows west-northwest. Another crew was dispatched to work on cleaning up that area, and oil booms were placed across a creek at various points to stop the spill from traveling further west until it could be cleaned up. | | | | Date Created: | 05 14 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #1 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042262 Original UID: 21761 FIRST WORD: Harristown | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2006 June | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | A leak from storage tank piping on June 12, 2006 allowed approximately 150,000 gallons of product to fill an earthen reservoir around tanks on the property, and most of it infiltrated the ground. Later, product was found floating on groundwater underneath the site, and field tiles had transported some of the material to a field southeast of the site. Surface water in the area flows west-northwest. Buckeye hired a contractor to clean up product that had flowed to a drainage ditch near a small pond one mile northwest. The contractor used oil booms to contain the spill, skimmed it off the water, and removed it for proper disposal. | | | | Date Created: | 05 14 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042263 Original UID: 21762 FIRST WORD: Harristown | |
