Environment calm after Graniteville spill and McVeigh bid
An environmental official said Graniteville residents face no risk after a Monday morning wreck leaked five to ten gallons of fuel and oil into a canal. Quick containment by Graniteville Company and Augusta Industrial Services minimized impact, with no drinking water intakes affected. In Denver, prosecutors urged the federal judge to deny Timothy McVeigh’s request for more classified evidence, arguing they've provided extensive material including rumor and innuendo.
