Marion County Spill Not Cleaned up as Promised

by Nicole Good on August 29, 2011

Locals say the spill on Bunners Ridge last week is still a mess, despite officials reporting on Thursday that clean-up was 95% complete. Residents are concerned about the integrity of their well water, or that they will no longer be able to swim in White Day Creek after 50 gallons of synthetic oil spilled into it. Both Chesapeake and DEP have taken water samples, but results are still pending.
