Enviro Medics LLC Responds to Half-Mile Fuel Spill in Maury County
On October 16, 2025, Enviro Medics LLC was dispatched to a major environmental incident involving a half-mile-long diesel fuel spill in Maury County, Tennessee Maury County. The spill originated after a commercial truck ruptured its saddle tank while crossing nearby railroad tracks. Unaware of the rupture, the driver continued traveling until reaching the Maury County Fire Department Maury County Fire Department, where the vehicle was parked overnight.
For an estimated 12 hours, the truck continued leaking diesel fuel before the spill was discovered the following day. By this time, fuel had spread along the roadway, throughout the fire department parking lot, and into the surrounding grass and soil. Long-duration releases of this scale pose significant risks to stormwater systems, public safety, and the local environment—especially with a storm approaching.
Immediate Mobilization & Containment Ahead of Incoming Weather
As soon as Enviro Medics was notified, our Emergency Spill Response Team mobilized immediately. Upon arrival, our technicians surveyed the full length of the spill path and rapidly deployed containment measures to stop further migration—timing that proved critical as a large storm system was moving toward the area.
Our crew:
Deployed absorbent barriers along the roadway
Treated and stabilized impacted pavement
Installed drainage protection to prevent diesel infiltration
Recovered free product from pavement, grass, and soil
Identified and reinforced high-risk stormwater points
Protecting storm drains and preventing fuel migration into waterways is a core priority during every diesel spill response.
Environmental Cleanup & Contaminated Soil Removal
Once the immediate release was under control, Enviro Medics initiated the full environmental remediation phase. Our team:
Removed diesel-saturated absorbents
Treated pavement and hard surfaces
Excavated areas of diesel-soaked soil

These actions ensured the site was restored safely and fully protected against long-term environmental impacts.
