A fuel hose disconnected from a fuel truck while fueling an aircraft. Winds from the south aided in keeping the fuel contained to the west side of the slip immediately north of the spill site. Most of the fuel was recovered using a vacuum truck, sorbent boom, and sorbent pads on Wednesday.
Some residual fuel is entrained underneath the float plane docks lining the west side of the slip.
Philip Services, who was hired by Ketchum, remained on scene today to clean up these areas. A few small areas of shoreline received enough impact to warrant removal of modest amounts of soils at the waters edge. The Department of Transportation s hard boom was removed from the slip, and most of the sorbent boom and pads were removed. Snare boom was deployed in areas where residual fuel is bleeding off the docks and slip walls. The soils where the spill occurred will be excavated after the rain stops to prevent further leaching of product into the lake.
