Three Months before Leak, Review Questioned Freedom Tanks

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- An evaluation three months before the Jan. 9 chemical
spill found that chemical storage tanks at Freedom Industries did not meet
industry standards, federal safety inspectors have found.
.
Tanks at the Elk River facility were "not necessarily in full compliance
with" industry and federal government standards, the U.S. Chemical Safety
Board said during testimony at a congressional field hearing on the spill.
.
CSB Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso revealed the October 2013 review of
Freedom's tank farm in describing his agency's preliminary research into
the spill that polluted the drinking water of 300,000 West Virginians with
the chemical Crude MCHM.
.
"The tanks in use at Freedom Industries were over one-half century old,"
Moure-Eraso said during a field hearing held by the House Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure. "Considering the best way to improve
the safety of tanks at facilities that have similar tanks in use is an
important question."
.
During the hearing, CSB officials also revealed a blown-up poster of a
state Department of Environmental Protection photo showing two small holes
in the bottom of the MCHM tank that leaked.
.
The CSB is investigating the Elk River spill to find out what happened and
make recommendations to avoid another such incident. The agency does not
have authority to issue citations or levy fines, but makes recommendations
to other agencies and to industry about ways to improve safety.
