March 28th:“RUBIS employees have been trained in how to deal with such an emergency and are already working on containment, in conjunction with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources pollution control team.
April 12th: ” Additional specialists are en-route to Bermuda…For information the estimated 73,000 litres [i.e. 19,300 US Gallons] of gasoline liquid percolated down through approximately 14 metres [i.e. 45 feet] of limestone before reaching the groundwater where it was expected to float as a lens on top of the groundwater and spread out laterally.”

“In addition to the liquid gasoline floating on the water table and spreading out laterally the fumes from the gasoline are also expected to spread out in the porous limestone above the liquid plume and water table. These fumes are referred to as the vapour plume and this is expected to travel ahead of the liquid gasline plume.”

No, it’s as bad as has been reported. People with the expertise and equipment to hasten recovery only reduces the risk of the spill spreading further underground.

Information that was released a long time ago

To put their leakage estimates in perspective, some back of the envelope calculations indicate that the amount of gasoline that percolated into the ground is approximately equal to an average size swimming pool (16x32x5ft) at full capacity. This would be enough gasoline to fill up an average car about 1,500 times.

How long did this leak go on for before it was discovered? After it was discovered how long did it take to stop??

Not good Rubis…not good. Whoever was inspecting your valves over the years should be let go immediately. Slacking!

So it was real bad and more experts are coming to Bermuda? This information is being literally dragged out of rubis. It is like pulling teeth. Bad, real bad
