Another Intentional Spill

September 4, 2008

Another intentional oil spill has occurred in McKean County.

This time the quantity of crude oil spilled is smaller than the spill which devastated several waterways last month.

State police in Mount Jewett said on Thursday that the latest incident took place between 11 a.m. on Aug. 29 and 7:20 a.m. on Sept. 2.

State police said that a valve on an oil storage tank was opened, releasing approximately 84 gallons of crude oil.

Those responsible then fled the scene, said state police.
