Fuel spill contained after massive dump into Grapevine Lake
GRAPEVINE — After a fuel spill at Scott's Landing Marina dumped an unknown amount of gasoline into Grapevine Lake, the gasoline was absorbed and there was no longer evidence of a spill Tuesday.
Grapevine Fire Chief Darrell Brown said the spill happened around 7:40 p.m. Monday along the 2500 block of Oak Grove Loop South. Brown said he did not know how many gallons went into the water but there was a 100x50 ft. sheen on top of the lake.
Companies arrived and found a fuel leak and quickly shut down the necessary valves to prevent further leakage, the city said. Containment booms were quickly deployed, with additional booms deployed by the Northeast Fire Department Association (NEFDA) Hazardous Materials Team, and the spilled fuel was contained. NEFDA is a mutual aid organization from the northeast Tarrant County area.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality DFW Region visited the area on Tuesday and did not see any evidence of a spill at the Scott Landing Marina, and the tank appeared to be in good working condition.
TCEQ's investigation is ongoing.
