Whitmore Oil Spill Becomes State's Worst In History
About 445000 gallons of oil have been recovered from Big Durbin Creek and the Enoree River with 25000 to 50000 gallons still unrecovered. The rupture of a Colonial Pipeline Co. line caused a second spill in a month, following a May 13 spill of 394000 gallons. Whitmire's water system was affected and a temporary pipeline was set to draw water from Duncan Creek.
