Ethanol spill from train crash still causing problems in Iowa
autoblog.com Railroad and state officials said they're still dealing with the aftermath of a freight train that derailed about three weeks ago and spilled ethanol into the Mississippi River north of Dubuque, Iowa. Kevin Baskins a spokesman for the Department of Natural Resources, told theTelegraph Herald on Monday that 55,000 gallons of ethanol remain unaccounted for at the site where three train cars went off the tracks February 4 and tumbled into the river. A total of eight cars that derailed appeared to spill ethanol. Baskins said crews cleared ethanol that spilled across about a half-acre of land around the tracks and all but about 400 gallons that pooled atop chunks of ice on the Mississippi. He said some fuel burned or leaked into the river or soil, and that there's no way of telling how much. Efforts to monitor water quality and aquatic life in the river are ongoing, Baskins said, but past results shows that the majority of ethanol in the water dissipated downstream, and no fish kills have been reported
