B-3 reports Tanker full of Liquid Asphalt fell off 5th wheel and is leaking.
32 Tons of Product in tanker
Approximately 100"x50" area covered.
Product has entered the sewer.

Following Outside Agencies requested:

B-3 reports sand, speedy dry and 2 lengths of 2 1/2" hose used to create a berm. This has contained the spill area. Towing company is working to lift the tanker to slow leak.

B-3 reports Tow company able to lift and secure tanker. Leak has stopped.

B-3 reports area has been secured and turned over to responsible party for clean-up. Tow company taking tanker away. DEP and NYS DEC will follow up on product that entered the sewer.


 
I presume the TT operator didn't do the tug test on the 5th wheel during his pre-trip inspection or some scoundrel pulled the pin when he wasn't looking.
