West Virginia Spill to be Investigated by Federal Board

Federal investigators will probe what allowed thousands of gallons of
coal-processing chemicals to spill into a river in West Virginia, a leak
that left about 300,000 people without the use of municipal drinking
water.
.
The independent U.S. Chemical Safety Board announced its intent to
investigate as officials in the state capital of Charleston said the leak
was larger than first thought and that residents face the possibility of
days more without use of their tap water.
.
Our goal is to find out what happened to allow a leak of such magnitude to
occur, Rafael Moure-Eraso, the chemical boards chairman, said in a
statement. The probe will aim to ensure that the proper safeguards are in
place to prevent a similar incident from occurring.

Drained Tank
.
Closely held Freedom Industries, based in Charleston, has since drained
the leaky tank, and state regulators ordered that it empty all of its 14
above-ground storage tanks and come up with a cleanup plan for the site.
.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said his office, along with other federal and
state law-enforcement authorities, will investigate the cause of the leak
and take whatever action is appropriate.
.
Freedom Industries President Gary Southern apologized for the spill,
saying the company was working with state and federal officials. The
company, formed in 1986, supplies chemicals to the steel, cement and
coal-mining industries, including agents that deep freeze, treat water or
control dust, according to its website.
.
We have mitigated the risk in terms of further contamination, Southern
said at a news conference yesterday. This incident is extremely
unfortunate, unanticipated, and we are very, very sorry.

Federal Cost
.
FEMA, which is coordinating relief efforts, said it would distribute more
than 1 million liters of water. The federal government will pay for 75
percent of the cost for equipment and resources to fight the spill, after
President Barack Obama issued a state of emergency for eight counties:
Boone, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Putnam, and Roane.
.
At noon today, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin extended
indefinitely the state of emergency that he initially issued on Jan. 9.
His order now covers nine counties.
