The spill has been contained and posed no threat to waterways. The reporting party has completed the initial cleanup, but some contaminated soil remains. They plan to excavate a foot of soil to fully remediate the area. An onsite hazmat specialist, employed by the property, notified the county health department and was subsequently advised to contact OES.
