WV DEP Monitoring Drilling Fluid in Dunkard Creek by Kim Freda, August 31, 2012, wboy.com
The Department of Environmental Protection is monitoring a drilling lubricant leak into Dunkard Creek that happened Thursday evening near Blacksville. M3 Appalachia Gas Gathering System was installing a gas transmission pipeline when drilling fluid seeped into the creek, according to Tom Aluise with the W.Va. DEP. … The company estimated that 600 gallons of the non-toxic, light-gray milky fluid entered Dunkard Creek, although Aluise said that number is probably higher now.
