[Tyler Turpin <tylerturpin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mr. Alonzo Logan the inmate who escaped from Dillwyn Correctional Facility on 
Satuday parked a van, that he stole right after he escaped , on Willis Church 
Road at the vacant home of a relative. This is right by Malvern Hill  unit of 
Richmond National Battlefield Park.We should stay away from there until this 
human predator is back in a prison cell. 

While looking at the park service nationwide emergency management news site to 
see if the SWAT  teams from the D.C  metro area or Shenandoah National Park had 
been called in to help the local and state agencies protect the park and find 
the fugitive I saw this . The civil and Criminal Sections of the U.S Attorney's 
Office will hopefully have fun with this firm and some employees. A spill like 
this is negligence.

Richmond National Battlefield Park (VA)
Chemicals Spilled Into Park Stream

During the morning hours of Tuesday, November 13th, the park’s natural resource 
specialist discovered large amounts of foam in a creek in the park’s Fort 
Darling/Drewery's Bluff  unit. The foam was found throughout most of the creek, 
which drains into the James River. A unified command was set up with 
Chesterfield County, the Virginia State Department of Environmental Quality, 
and the Environmental Protection Agency.  Investigators determined that an 
asphalt plant near the Fort Darling unit had released large amounts of 
styrene/butadiene copolymer latex mixed with water while switching out tanks at 
their facility. The chemical is used as a bonding agent in manufacturing 
asphalt. A cleanup contractor began working at the spill site on Wednesday and 
was scheduled to finish up on Thursday. EPA hired another contractor to oversee 
the cleanup operation. The unit has been closed to the public. An investigation 
is underway. [Submitted by Tim Mauch, Chief Ranger]
