On June 8, 2004, Owensboro Grain Co. (OG) reported an estimated 6,000 gallon release of crude soybean oil at their tank farm in Owensboro, KY (NRC Report No. 724374). All material was contained within a grassy diked area, and no material was discharged to surface water. OG hired a cleanup contractor to remediate the spill, and further direction on cleanup will be provided by the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection (KYDEP).
