Coal spill cleanup starts; air monitored

Mesa, Wash. – Crews began cleaning up coal today that spilled Monday night when about 30 train cars derailed in this Franklin County town.

The cause of the derailment was still under investigation, officials said.

A state Department of Ecology spokeswoman said the agency was not called about the derailment because coal is not considered a hazardous material and it’s not oil.

The agency is, however, monitoring the air quality in Mesa because of the coal dust, spokeswoman Jani Gilbert said.

“We did see a slight bump in the particulate matter in the air for a couple hours after the derailment,” Gilbert said. “But that could have happened had a diesel truck been idling in the area. With levels that we’re talking about, there’s nothing to be alarmed about.”

The train originated in Wyoming and was headed for British Columbia.
