BROOKHAVEN, Pa. - Officials in Delaware County are investigating the cause and potential environmental impacts of a fuel leak that contaminated a local stormwater system.
The smell of gasoline overcame a community in Brookhaven on Saturday morning as crews from several agencies including the Department of Environmental Protection gathered near Mount Vernon Avenue."I thought that my husband had spilled gas from the lawnmower," Cathy Finnegan said.
The fuel leak ran through a creek behind her home where she said many neighborhood kids play. The Brookhaven Fire Department said the Fish Commission is evaluating the potential damage to the environment.
