Theives cause 300 litres oil leak

Thieves are thought to be responsible for approx 300 litres of heating oil fuel to be leaked from a tank at a community centre at Penmorna on the 3rd March.

Damage was caused to a pipe and a valve was found to be open.

Police are urging home owners to be extra vigilant and to make sure that their tanks were secure.

Firefighters from Porthmadog were called to the scene. The oil is believed to have flowed into domestic drains and a water course. There was no risk to members of the public.

Firefighters succeeded in stopping the flow and used environmental spill packs to assist with their work.

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.

Roads reopen after hydrochloric acid leak

ROADS have reopened in the Newton Aycliffe area following a leak of hydrochloric acid at the former Fujitsu plant on the 18th Feb 2011.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 5am.

Hydrochloric acid had begun leaking from a container in the plan.

Fire and ambulance crews responded to the alert and the main road to the plant, Millennium Way, was closed to traffic.

Fire crews were able to enter the factory, wearing breathing apparatus, to carry out pumping operations to remove the acid from the leaking container.

Fire station manager Dane Rollo said: “The acid has been captured on the site. We are satisfied there has been no leak into drains or rivers.

Environment Agency reprimands Bramall Construction for oil spill

Environment Agency reprimands construction company following River Tawd pollution.

Oil leaked into the river last November and the Environment Agency traced the spill to St Luke’s school in Digmoor which was being demolished at that time.

Bramall Construction who were responsible for the demolition were warned in a letter.

The firm said the leak started when an oil tank was moved by one of their sub-contractors.

Ian Gaskell, Environment Officer for the Environment Agency said, “Through our investigations which took place through a complex system of underground rivers, and culverted rivers, we were able to trace the source of the pollution.”
