SR21 Gasoline Spill Site
FY 2015- 2016 Cenex/CHS Tanker: Gasoline Spill at SR21 location MP 136.5
This site is located on Washington State Highway 21 at Milepost 136.5 in Keller, WA. An incident occurred on May 19, 2015 when a fuel tanker truck owned by CHS overturned and released a substantial volume of gasoline (~2700 gallons) and a lesser amount of diesel (~60 gallons) onto the ground surface immediately adjacent to SR21 and in close proximity to the San Poil River. It is determined that CHS is the owner or person in charge of the facility which is the source of the release of threatened harmful substance(s) into a navigable water of the United States. In collaboration with EPA, CCT Environmental Trust has been involved in emergency response and interim actions at the site from the date of the incident until present, and we expect to remain involved in a regulatory and technical advisement capacity until final cleanup in complete.
