When is Vehicle Accident Spill Recovery Needed?

When vehicle fluids, like diesel and oil, spill during an accident, they threaten public safety and the environment. Our team arrives quickly to assess the scene, contain the spill and start the spill cleanup process. If any of the following contaminants are spilled, they require professional and compliant cleanup.

• Diesel fuel leaks from overturned trucks or ruptured tanks
• Gasoline spills from passenger vehicles or commercial fleets
• Oil and hydraulic fluid spills from engines and heavy equipment
• Coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid leaks
• Hazardous materials from crashes, vehicle and trailer fires or dangerous cargo
• Spilled cargo of any kind
• Vehicle or equipment fluid leaks on public and private property, even from parked trucks or machinery

Spilled fluids can quickly run into storm drains, contaminate soil, and create serious hazards for people, wildlife, and waterways. Our experienced crews act quickly to contain the spill, prevent further spread, and safely remove contaminants.

Report immediately if you’re dealing with a fuel, oil, or hazardous material spill after an accident. Contact us, and we’ll ensure safe and compliant spill recovery.

What is the Vehicle Accident Spill Recovery Process

Our process for cleaning up vehicle spills is similar to all our emergency spill responses. We want to give you peace of mind, knowing the spill cleanup is taken care of and meets all legal requirements.

Here’s how we get to work:

Scene Assessment

As soon as we arrive on the scene, we do a thorough scene assessment. This assessment helps us understand the situation and scope of the spill cleanup. We look at the type, volume, and spread of spill materials to know what equipment, supplies, and contractors to bring in.

Spill Recovery Plan

A detailed spill recovery plan will help us do the recovery more efficiently. It also includes coordinating with first responders, government, and environmental agencies. It will include details of the work involved in the job, like the spill cleanup products and equipment. We might also bring in our towing division, Pro-Tow, to help remove damaged vehicles and trailers from the scene.

Our recovery plan will ensure we follow the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and important legislation set out by key agencies. We often work closely with:

• Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT)
• Washington State Department of Ecology (DEO)
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• Washington State Patrol

Our spill recovery plan also helps us create compliant reporting and documentation for the recovery.

Containing the Spill

Our team works quickly to stop the spill from spreading. For example, if the spill is slowly spreading into the ditch of a roadway, we’ll set up containment booms to prevent the spread. We also head to the source to stop the leak as soon as possible.

We also work fast to protect storm drains. Keeping oil and vehicle fuel out of the drain protects waterways and wildlife and avoids hefty cleanup fees, fines, and legal penalties.

Securing the Spill Site

Spill cleanups on busy highways and roadways pose risks to public safety. To keep drivers and people safe, we secure the site so we can do our work. That might mean lane closures, scene safety lighting and clear barriers during the recovery.

Spill Cleanup and Remediation

It’s time to get to work! Our crew use state-of-the-art equipment and spill cleanup methods to ensure the spill site is clean and restored. We use absorbents to soak up and remove contaminants and vacuum trucks to remove spills from contaminated water, mud, and storm drains.

We remove contaminated soil and test it in a lab to ensure we went deep enough to remove everything. Then, we’ll fill those areas with new soil and gravel so the site looks like it did before the accident.

We also works quickly to clear debris, damaged vehicles, equipment, and cargo from the accident site. Getting traffic up and running and ensuring the area is completely restored are top priorities.

Compliant Reporting

State and federal legislation require detailed reporting, including photo documentation. We’ll take care of these details so you don’t have to. We’ll ensure the cleanup is compliant and help protect you from costly fines or legal issues.
