Dear Residents,
On Tuesday night there was an operator error which led to an overfill and overflow of an above ground storage tank located on Davison Rd.
Upwards of 900 gallons of diesel fuel was spilled, with some of that product making its way into local streams, creeks, and ponds.
All notifications have been made to our local, county and state partners. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) for Swedesboro and Woolwich is working closely with the County Hazmat Team.
Currently, a clean up is underway. As a precaution some of the bodies of water will have booms placed on and around them.
Our priority is the safety of the residents, environment, wildlife, fish, water foul, turtles, and vegetation.
