spill

An Environmental Protection Agency iinvestigation found that the company did not have an adequate emergency response plan in place.

The leak occurred when a storage tank collapsed on May 29.

They also question whether the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is providing adequate oversight of it.

They say some wetlands were affected, but not any sources of drinking water.

The truck was towing two trailers containing lead-acid batteries.

Guille says the byproduct could contain chemicals, but it's mostly just water.

Snow, combined with sustained winds of more than 30 mph and gusts around 60 mph, hampered the cleanup process.

Irrigating lawns or gardens with water from the river, or allowing dogs to swim in the river, may also pose a risk to human health.

The spill has been contained and cleanup efforts are underway, according to a statement from Town Clerk Christine Trumbull.

The slightly radioactive sludge came from a uranium processing facility in Wyoming where Cameco mines the nuclear fuel.
