Gasoline spill declared as safe on Monongahela River
About 10 000 gallons of gasoline spilled into the ice clogged Monongahela River after a barge hit a bridge. Water supplies were deemed safe by state and federal officials. The incident occurred as at least 50 barges broke loose from moorings along a 40 mile stretch south of Pittsburgh. Cleanup crews labored into the night to extract remaining fuel and prevent further contamination, with authorities noting low residual ecological impact in the current conditions.
