  • Some of the material overflowed the on-site containment system and entered a storm drain, where it flowed to Otter Creek and then to the Delaware River.
  • Trinseo personnel alerted federal, state, and local authorities and immediately began to participate in the emergency response.
  • Because the material is highly water soluble, and the release coincided with a period of rainfall, the material dissipated quickly in the water.
