North Carolina environmental officials have ordered Colonial Pipeline to expand testing of private wells around the site of a massive gasoline spill last year in Huntersville.
The expanded testing is among 22 corrective actions ordered by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. The DEQ says Colonial s 1,600-page Jan. 20 Comprehensive Site Assessment doesn t have enough information to determine the full impact of the incident.
“We will continue to hold Colonial Pipeline accountable for its actions and response to the largest gasoline spill in North Carolina’s history,” Michael Scott, head of the DEQ s Division of Waste Management, said in a press release. “The Comprehensive Site Assessment lacks critical information necessary to determine the full extent of the impacts of this event. This information is crucial for the protection of public health and the environment.”
