Overview
- Over 25,000 gallons of gasoline spilled in Washington after a failure in the Olympic Pipeline on Sunday.
- Responders have set up a containment boom and there are currently no signs of fuel reaching the Skagit River.
- No injuries to wildlife have been observed and air quality monitoring indicates no risk to public health.
- The Olympic Pipeline, operated by BP, transports gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from four refineries in northwestern Washington state.
- This spill is one of the largest in Washington state since 2000, but spills of this size occur nationally with unfortunate frequency.
