Overview

• The spill occurred Sunday evening during a tanker delivery at the Wawa on 418 West Rio Grande Avenue in Wildwood, releasing roughly 800 gallons of gasoline
• Wildwood fire crews, Cape May County officials and the U.S. Coast Guard blocked nearby storm drains and closed adjacent streets to contain the release
• No injuries were reported and sand was applied to absorb leaked fuel before the store and surrounding roads reopened early Monday
• Wawa said the release stemmed from a potential equipment malfunction on a third-party fuel delivery tanker
• Authorities are conducting environmental assessments to determine if gasoline infiltrated storm drains feeding sensitive coastal waterways
