West Virginia’s Freedom Industries suffers another chemical spill

Weeks after spilling about 10,000 gallons of chemicals into West Virginia's Elk River, chemical maker Freedom Industries reported another toxic leak Thursday at their facility in Charleston. Yet none of the material has reached the river, officials said.

Contractors for Freedom Industries hit an underground pipe with an excavator Thursday night, unleashing water and the same crude MCHM chemical that leaked from the company’s tank farm into the Elk River on Jan. 9. The earlier incident ultimately spoiled drinking water for around 300,000 nearby residents.

An undetermined amount of material spilled into a cutoff trench on Thursday, staying away from the river, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection said. Though just as an earlier spill weeks ago, the leak released a black-licorice odor into the air.
