Gas Spill - Valley Creek Trib.

[AndyP]

I saw on Philly.com that between
10,000-20,000 gallons of fuel leaked from
a pipeline near Little Valley. If anyone is out
on Valley or Little Valley let us know
if there was any impact. Mike K., hear anything?

Thanks for the heads-up, Andy. Found it. Hopefully it won't have an impact.

Tried to post the link to the article but
I'm having technical difficulties ...my brain.

Thanks Afish.

When I read it was Malvern my first thought was it was Valley Creek not Little Valley. Thank goodness it wasn't Valley...Paoli all over again.

fade - don't rest too quickly on this. If I read the watersheds correctly, this Little Valley feeds into Valley near Chubby Checker's spread, so pretty much anything would flow through the Mill Road section, the entirety of Chesterbrook and the whole National Park.

Mainlinemedianews.com is reporting the spill was stopped before it reached Little Valley.

I was fishing valley below the confluence with little valley sunday am, and did not notice any sheen or odor on the water.

fingers crossed.
