Oil Spill on Albany Hill
20 September 2016
Once the leak was stemmed the truck-and-trailer was towed away
Today's mid-morning call to Dairy Flat Highway on Albany Hill turned into a long-duration job. A truck had shed diesel oil for about 100 metres in the slow uphill lane before the vehicle came to a standstill, disabled. Members put in lane closures and warning signs on the winding road while absorbent was spread on the spill and while the truck-and-trailer combination was towed away. Clean-up trucks later arrived on the scene to pick up more than 200 litres of absorbent which contractors had used to mop up the oil, plus that spread by firefighters. Members handed over to a traffic management company as work proceeded.
