Diesel spill at Crystal

It looks like a utility pump failed and 18,000 gallons of diesel was spilled at crystal: seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420AP_WA_Diesel_Spill.html

And of course the rain (and now snow) has only made cleanup more difficult.

Thanks for the update. I've been curious about it each time I've driven by since the spill happened. I wonder how the folks with cabins who get their tap water from Silver Creek feel about it...  ???

A not quite as up-to-date posting on the Washington Department of Ecology's website with details on the recent spill cleanup work through December 5th:

A bio-diesel spill would have been non-toxic.

Here's an interesting article about a spill in Snoho County a few years back.

I understand there are additives under development you can add to the fuel to keep it in liquid form in cold temps.

Just another reason for ski resorts to go green.

Wasn't this a Puget Sound Energy Spill, and not a Crystal Mt Resort spill? Had it been on Boyne's dime, I'd think they would have to shut down due to costs and liabilities?
