A transport truck tipped over and spilled fuel and oil into a ditch which is also part of a wetland. although an effort, albeit ineffective, was made to contain the spill it has yet to be cleaned up after 2 weeks. wildlife, especially turtles, have been observed in and around the spill area. the lack of cleanup after 2 weeks is not acceptable.
