The idiots are putting them everywhere, even nature PRESERVES. Not very preserving of nature to do so...

Oil spill at nature preserve 'absolutely terrible'
9:48 a.m. EDT March 19, 2014

Crude oil discovered spilling from an underground pipeline into a stream and marshy pond in a nature preserve in Colerain Township on Monday evening will be "tricky" to clean up, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials said Tuesday. They estimated the volume of the spill to be around 10,000 gallons.

The spill, relatively small compared to others reported in recent years -- both in the region and other parts of the country – didn't injure anyone and was contained to the spill site by Tuesday afternoon, according to state and federal Environmental Protection Agency officials.

The EPA and local officials are holding a press conference at 10 a.m. today to update the public on any developments made overnight.

The cost for cleanup could be steep.

Crews will need to "build a road" to get heavy machinery into the spill area, a part of the Oak Glen Nature Preserve, to vacuum up the oil and dig up contaminated soil. With rain in the forecast, a containment structure will be built to capture oil and keep it from reaching the Great Miami River, just some 500 feet away, or spreading out on the site, said Heather Lauer, a spokeswoman for the Ohio EPA.
