Hydraulic Oil Spill Cleanup on US-43 Bypass in Mt. Pleasant TN | Enviro Medics
On April 24, 2024, the Enviro Medics Emergency Spill Response Team was dispatched to a major hydraulic oil spill on the US-43 Bypass U.S. Highway 43 in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee Mt. Pleasant. The spill covered two full lanes of the roadway and stretched for nearly half a mile, creating a serious hazard for motorists.
The incident occurred when a truck suffered a driveshaft failure, causing a release of gear oil and approximately 200 gallons of hydraulic fluid across the bypass. Hydraulic oil spills of this size require immediate containment to prevent traffic accidents, stormwater contamination, and roadway deterioration.
Our 24/7 hazmat response team arrived within minutes of the call, immediately deploying absorbents, brooms, and specialized remediation equipment to open the roadway as quickly and safely as possible. By applying our industry-leading remediation techniques, experienced personnel, and purpose-built equipment, we were able to restore the highway to safe conditions incredibly fast.
Despite the size and spread of the spill, our team had the entire roadway completely reopened within just 2 hours from the original dispatch—minimizing delays and preventing environmental impact.
