Photographs
of the Spill, part 2
This
group of photographs, taken between 30 August and 1 September,
shows some of the water contamination.
 |
|
Remediation
included the use of Sphag-sorb to capture oil. Floating
oil soaked Sphag-sorb is being held back by the boom.
|

|
|
 |
|
The
solids from the pollution rested above the water at
the time of remediation. This is an indicator that the
spill occurred sometime before it was first noticed,
when the creek was higher.

|
Patches
of whitish matter floating in the creek.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Red
contamination was visible on the bank above the water's
edge.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
The
red contamination was at least a half a foot above the
current water level which means the spill could have
occurred weeks earlier.
|
| |
|
|
 |
|
Patches
of contamination were visible in pools not connected
any longer to the creek's flow.
