Threat of release of an 11,500gal home heating oil tanker that had rolled over along US route 6 Barnstable, MA with an approximate release of 5000 - 7000gals of heating oil.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Three of the 4 compartments on the tanker truck were breached spilling 5000 - 7000gals of home heating fuel oil onto the ground. The spill occurred 1/2 mile from a public drinking well. The US EPA is coordinating with the Massachusetts State Drinking Water Program. MassDEP contractor was charged with capping the tanker. The PRP has hired a cleanup contractor and a vac truck. The home heating oil has seeped into the soil and has not reached navigable waters. No drinking water wells have been closed at this time. Contractor mitigation efforts are to continue to remove product from tank and excavate impacted soils throughout the night. There are no known impacts to groundwater at this time.

The US EPA is coordinating with the Massachusetts State Drinking Water Program. MassDEP contractor was charged with capping the tanker. The PRP has hired a cleanup contractor and a vac truck. The home heating oil has seeped into the soil and has not reached navigable waters. No drinking water wells have been closed at this time. Contractor mitigation efforts are to continue to remove product from tank and excavate impacted soils throughout the night. There are no known impacts to groundwater at this time.
The tanker has been removed and towed to another location. TMC has set up and will dig approximately 20 to 30 yards of soil tonight before securing the area until tomorrow morning. All of the oil released appears to have soaked into the ground immediately beneath the tanker. Depth to ground water is not known but it is expected to be greater than 50 feet.
