United Utilities fined £8,000 for diesel spill

Water company, United Utilities, has been fined £8,000 for polluting a river in Blackburn.

They were prosecuted follwing a 2,700-litres diesel spill last year at Fishmoor water treatment works.

Environment Agency visited the site in January 2010 and found pollution to a 1km stretch of Higher Croft Brook near the River Darwen.

Diesel fuel was entering the brook as a result of an incident at the site when a generator had been overfilled and a safety valve failed to close.

It was found that a plug was missing from the generator and if it had been in place the leaked diesel would have been contained.

The water company pleaded guilty at Hyndburn Magistrates Court and was ordered to pay costs of £3,048.

Using Generators and Plant Equipment Outdoors

The Amazing Plant Nappy
The Amazing Plant Nappy

When using plant or generators outside one of the biggest problems is fuel or oil leaks and drips. The main problem with fuel is when the user is refilling the tank and with oil it is from worn seals and from hydraulic lines. With small generators you can place the machine in a tray to catch any potential leaks and drips, but with larger machines it can be a problem. You could a tray under any leak but a major problem will be when it rains, it is going to fill with water and then you have to dispose of oily water safely and in accordance with local laws and regulations.

 

It would be great if you could just put the machine onto something that would absorb and hold any fuels and oils and it didn’t matter if it got rained on, something that wouldn’t fill up with water and then overflow with all the oils or fuels then being spilled onto the ground – the very thing you were trying to prevent…… well now there is……….
