Jumping oil into the Lake
What's that gonna do to the fishing?
where at in conway
Somewhere down at mayflower. There ain't many details on the news site right now.
It'll be some greasy fish.
Where are you guys reading this at? Can't find anything on it.
It's the swampy area right off of the Mayflower exit.
South of 89, East of 40.
So I am told...
Hopefully they can keep in contained in that small area.
I pulled my truck over.. I thought I had a bearing slinging grease!
It was the oil spill I was smelling!
MAYFLOWER, Ark. (KTHV) - The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management is currently responding to an oil spill.
According to public information officer Brandon Morris, a crude oil pipeline, owned by Exxon, ruptured near Mayflower, and now some of the oil is leaking into Lake Conway.
The Faulkner County Judge has declared this an emergency; Mayflower Chief Bob Satkowski said the nearby Northwood subdivision off Highway 89 North has been evacuated. Satkowski said there is a noticeable aroma in the air near the incident.
The amount of oil that has leaked is unknown. THV 11 has a crew on the way to the scene and will provide more information as it becomes available.
I hear they're bringing in the Deep Water Horizon bunch to plug it.
