Press Release

White Oak Township, MI


Contractors at the site of a gasoline leak in Ingham County have reported that the source of the leak has been found and that the leaking has been stopped.

During work late Sunday night, pressure testing of a line that fills a 180,000 gallon storage tank on site showed an immediate drop in pressure. Crews are on the scene and will begin working on replacing a gasket within the tank fill system that is the cause of the leak. The storage tank and the affected line is owned by Marathon Pipeline LLC and is a part of the Wolverine Pipeline Co. tank farm near Stockbridge, MI.

Wolverine Pipeline Co. personnel are beginning to transition the incident over to Marathon Pipeline LLC staff today. Contractors on site will remain in place to facilitate a smooth transition and a quick resolve to the situation. Federal, State and County oversight will continue until the incident is completely resolved and remediated.

There is still no estimate of loss of product at this time. An estimate will be released once one is known.

County Health Department officials will continue to monitor water wells in the area for contamination. At this time there is still no evidence of any contamination or health hazards to the residents of the area.
