Oil spill

Posted on October 7, 2010 by Staff

The strong smell of oil reported by residents near the intersection of Robert Hunt Drive and North Greensboro Street was traced to a spill from an unused 275-gallon underground storage tank, town officials reported.

Carrboro crews were not able to determine how much oil leaked out the tank; it was flushed out with groundwater. The town expects minimal impact on Bolin Creek and has notified the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources about the spill and its source.
