Oil spill in Quinnipiac
Message:
Took the kids to the Southington bike trail just as it was being shut down and hazmat teams were arriving. Have to look above Hanover Pond tomorrow to see if how much escapes the booms. [quote:f75143ca14]Information Reported by DEEP today... Fire in Southington, Rex Forge- 335 Atwater Street, Southington, CT There was a fire in an oil tank on upper floor of building. The tank held light waste oil and fell through the floor. We estimate that it released ~1000 + gallons of oil. The oil made its way to the Quinnipiac River. CT DEEP Haz Mat responded and have been there all day. Commissioner Esty met with HazMat team to assess the situation on site at 12:45 pm. Booms have been set up in the river and the oil is contained ½ mile from the site, downstream. [/quote:f75143ca14]

Yes, its sad, but these hazmat teams do a pretty good job of containment and clean up. If it was 40 years ago...
