Sludge spill contaminates Illinois river
February 9, 2009
The Des Plaines River was temporarily closed after a
65,000-gallon spill from an oil-sludge holding tank at a plant in Joliet. Only
about 6,000 gallons of the sludge appear to have reached the river, but some wildlife were lost to the spill.
We can help you with products for emergency spill control, including
portable spill-containment berms and
emergency baffling systems to control the spread of oil and other pollutants in water. Please feel free to
