19 Bloomington Township Hazardous Material Response Team Serves 7 County Area

20 Our Hazardous Materials Team is responsible for serving the 7 counties in District 8: Monroe, Brown, Bartholomew, Lawrence, Jackson, Orange, and Washington Counties.

21 Hazardous materials responses include gas leaks, fuel spills, and hazardous chemical incidents. Most of these spills are caused by truck accidents.

22 For example, a major spill occurred when an Austin Powder explosives truck was hit head-on by a motorist on the 45/46 bypass in Bloomington. The motorist had fallen asleep and was killed instantly. The Austin Powder truck driver lost control of his truck. The truck rolled onto its side, spilling contaminants onto the highway. The truck was carrying 16,000 lbs. of ammonium nitrate; 10,000 lbs. of ANFO (a mixture of ammonium nitrate and fuel); 150 gallons of diesel fuel (used to mix with the dry ammonium nitrate); a case of 60% gel dynamite; a case of blasting caps; and a case of boosters.
