FAYETTE COUNTY OIL SPILL CLEAN UP
Emergency officials in Fayette County continue the cleanup of a 400 barrell oil spill on October 28th.
The Fayette County Office of Emergency Management says its officials toured the site of the crude oil spill Wednesday with employees of the Koch Pipeline Company. Koch owns the pipeline that leaked in the area, contaminating at least two livestock ponds.
Fayette County says in a statement that the pipeline was shut down and the ponds have been contained to prevent further contamination. After heavy rains threated to create runoff, extra precautions were taken.
The Texas Railroad Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are overseeing the cleanup.
