Oily black goo leaking into Colorado’s primary source of water
DENVER — A continuing toxic leak of oily black goo is fouling up the South Platte River and Sand Creek, which is Colorado’s primary source of water, according to the Denver Post.
Federal environmental officials are taking care of the leak, which the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials knew about at least a month ago but nobody tried to stop the seepage or check the rivers, stated the article.
Workers have been required to wear respirators as a precaution as Suncor Energy cleanup crews use vacuum trucks to try and remove surface material from Sand Creek near the company’s oil refinery, according to the article.
