Emergency Response for Crude Oil Spills
What's involved in cleaning up a crude oil spill, on a highway versus in a waterway?
Cleanup depends heavily on where the crude oil spill happens. On an interstate or highway, the work typically focuses on removing and remediating the spilled product, followed by repairing the contaminated asphalt before the road can reopen. If the spill reaches a lake, river, or pond instead, response shifts to water-based containment: deploying containment and absorbent boom to stop the oil from spreading, recovering it with liquid vacuum tanks and frac tanks, and decontaminating any affected birds or wildlife. Enviro Care, an OSRO Inland Responder, keeps response trucks stocked with at least a half-mile each of containment and absorbent boom, along with vacuum tanks and PPE, so crews can pivot to either scenario without waiting on specialized equipment to arrive. Our 24/7 dispatch team sends an experienced crew to the location as soon as a spill is reported.
