Gasoline Spill Spreading Underground In Washington County
Don Behm has been all over this disturbing story:
A plume of gasoline from a July 17 fuel pipeline break continues flowing in groundwater away from the spill, and has pushed farther east and northwest in the last week, a West Shore Pipe Line Co. representative said Wednesday.

Cape Cod towns had to spend billions because of a diesel plume in the groundwater. It's still there, decades later, and scientists are using it as a test-bed for possible methods to remediate such things. Congratulations to Wisconsin for running the DNR like a business. The returns keep rolling in.
'Clean groundwater that meets state standards will be discharged into an unnamed creek north of Mill Road, Ferguson said.'
"State standards"? Is that, like, the same thing as job-killing government regulations?
I have to say that this company seems more responsive than Herr Environmental. Maybe they're an actual decent corporation or maybe they're kicking themselves right now because they forgot to purchase themselves a politician. Either way, these folks in super-red Washington County won't have to drink the koolaid with a side of toxic waste. Those folks represented by Joel Kleefisch - not so much.
