Rain blamed for Rescar fuel oil spill near Cedar Rapids
Unusually heavy rains caused an unknown amount of fuel oil to spill on land leased to Rescar in Cedar Rapids. Officials expect no action against Rescar, noting rain caused the spill and that water flow would dissipate any that reached the Cedar River. A temporary dike was installed and tanks will be covered when not in use as cleanup continued.
