- to report a release of a substance into the environment that may cause, is causing or has caused an adverse effect; or
- if the spill has happened in the past and you want to ensure appropriate cleanup of the land.
Call 3-1-1 for general inquiries or if the spill is:
- on the roadway; or
- entering or in the river or pond; or
- entering the sewer system, a manhole or a catch basin; or
- if you observe dumping on private property; or
