On Tuesday, 11 barges broke loose from a tug, with one carrying approximately 1,400 tons of Methanol lodging itself against the McAlpine Dam.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Emergency Management Services said a total of 341 air quality samples have been taken between 6 a.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday. All tests continue to show no detections of Methanol.<\/p>\n
More than 1,000 air quality samples taken since the incident happened, showing no detection of Methanol.<\/p>\n
Air and water quality will continue to be monitored, with results regularly shared with the public.<\/p>\n
As of Sunday morning, two barges containing corn and Methanol are still settled against the McAlpine Dam structure on the Ohio River. Officials said there are no signs or evidence of a tank breach or leaks.<\/p>\n
Additional heavy salvage equipment arrived at the McAlpine Dam on Saturday as crews continue working to safely remove the driftwood surrounding the remaining barges.
