Edwardsville oil spill is among the largest here in recent years 

by Bryce Gray, St. Louis Post-Dispatch (March 21, 2022) “This is a very large spill,” said Bill Caram, the executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, a nonprofit focused on pipeline safety issues. “This is more than you usually see.” Caram said that, although much of the oil from the spill has been recovered, the magnitude of the incident raised cause for concern. “With a spill of this size there’s definitely a concern with the health of the entire creek, and (about) seeping down into groundwater,” he said.
