when exposed to the cold water, and officials said there was no threat to the public or downstream water supplies, officials said.“This stuff is not sinking in this water,” Peronard said Sunday. “It adheres really well to rock, and we can roll it up like taffy on the sand.”
“Initial assessments indicate the release was minimal based on the amount of material believed to still be remaining in the impacted car,” the statement said. Turtles are particularly vulnerable to this type of spill, Ostovar said, because they are leaving the water right now to seek out nesting sites on gravel bars and basking in the sun.
