Caterpillar Proving Grounds Diesel Release
On February 18, 2011, Caterpillar Tractor Company, Inc. (CAT) was notified
by the Woodford County Emergency Management Agency that residents along
Ten Mile Creek had noticed a fuel odor. CAT personnel checked outfalls on
the bluff below the Proving Grounds fuel station and discovered some diesel
fuel seeping into a ravine which continues to Ten Mile Creek. An initial
investigation around the fueling facility revealed a diesel leak in an underground
line that feeds the fuel dispensers.
