OFFICIALS SAY 12K POUNDS OF ASPHALT REMOVED FROM YELLOWSTONE RIVER AFTER TRAIN DERAILMENT, BY JULY 6

Crews over the Fourth of July weekend finished removing the remaining train cars from the Yellowstone River after last month’s derailment and bridge collapse near Reed Point.

Nearly two weeks after the Montana Rail Link derailment, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency spokesperson said Wednesday crews had recovered more than 12,000 pounds of liquid asphalt that spilled into the river out of several of the train cars that derailed around 6 a.m. on June 26.

But finding through water quality testing no detectable levels of petroleum hydrocarbons or sulfur downstream of the derailment, officials decided to discontinue daily water quality testing.

“This is good news … we are able to place our focus on cleanup and recovery,” said Chad Anderson, the on-scene coordinator for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that as of June 30, Phillip Dillavou, dba Family Meal by Phil, has, as a second delinquent offense within a 12-month period, failed to remit Resort Tax to the Big Sky Resort Area District (BSRAD) for 60 days.
