Whoever did this is in deep **** when the Massachusetts State Police and the state EPA finds them. It seems a tanker yanker leaked a load of HEATING OIL all over the ground at the westbound Westborough Service Area on the Mass Pike. Naturally it required a hazmat response for cleanup-the equipment needed included a dumpster and a backhoe to scoop up the contaminated soil. Needless to say MassDOT,the Staties and the EPA are pissed(they’ve gone ape**** over the matter)and they’re checking surveillance cameras to see who’s responsible,because the perpetrator didn’t report it. The cleanup involved means only half of the truck parking spots are available-according to the MassDOT foreman,they’ve been at it since 11:00 am this morning-and it’s 4:00 pm now-and they’re nowhere near finishing. When I saw this at first I thought they were expanding the truck parking area. Sadly,that isn’t the case.
Whoever did this deserves the “Singapore Style” treatment-1 lash for each gallon spilled!
This is a big deal because the lion’s share of the homes around this neck of the woods use underground aquifers for their primary drinking water supply. If the heating oil leaches into that water supply then it’s contaminated!
At this point I think we’re way beyond tickets and fines….

That sucks. I would have given him a safe place to disperse his load.
