Service: Emergency Fuel Spill Response & Cleanup
Facility Type: Highway Transportation Incident

Description:

In July 2024, ACC provided emergency environmental response following the rollover of a gasoline tanker truck along Interstate 5 near Wolf Creek, Oregon. The incident resulted in the release of approximately 2,000 gallons of gasoline, which entered a median culvert and discharged onto private property. ACC worked with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and emergency response contractors to:

• Assess the extent of the gasoline release in soil and water.
• Excavate and remove 586 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil (PCS) over a two-day period.
• Conduct confirmation sampling to verify successful remediation.
• Perform follow-up water well sampling to ensure no residual contamination impacted local water sources.
• Prepare regulatory reports for submission to the DEQ.

Outcome: ACC completed a rapid and effective emergency cleanup, ensuring that the affected area was remediated to regulatory standards. The collaborative response with state agencies and emergency contractors facilitated a successful environmental restoration.
