Tank leak links to creek chemical burn in Granite City
In Granite City Illinois a leaking 300000 gallon tank owned by Apex Oil Co may be the source of caustic soda released into a creek that feeds the Mississippi River. Darrell Roger 11 underwent surgery for dead tissue removal and other boy suffered minor burns while Lynn Spence was treated after belated ice fall. EPA said heavy concentrations were closest to the tank and the area was flooded to dilute waterway runoff. Apex pledged more tests and possible dredging.
