Chemical leaks into Berkeley creek | ksdk.com
Berkeley, Mo (KSDK) -- Hazmat crews are testing the water of a creek in Berkeley after a chemical from a nearby business leaked into it.

The North Central Fire chief said 5,400 gallons of ammonium hydroxide leaked into the creek in the 8900 block of Seegar Industrial Drive around 4:00 a.m. during a transfer process.

The chemical was used by Univar USA, which is an industrial chemical distributor that supplies products and distributes services to all major industrial market segments.

Fire officials believe the chemical has dissipated into the water, but crews will test the water. A backhoe is also being brought in to dig in the soil to make sure none of the chemical got into it.

us_ny: Chemical leaks at Eastman Business Park - RocNow.com
Workers were offloading a delivery of ammonium hydroxide to Champion Photochemistry when the driver noticed that a small amount of the product was leaking from a valve into a catch basin, according to a news release from the Rochester Fire Department.
The Kodak Park Fire Department investigated and requested a hazardous materials response from the Rochester department.
Ammonium hydroxide is a corrosive material and is considered a health hazard. Because the total amount of chemical in the tanks was 5,700 gallons, the event was upgraded to a Level 1 incident, according to the release.
The Champion Photochemistry building was evacuated, and crews were able to successfully disconnect the hoses without any further spill, according to the release.
The total amount of product released was approximately one quart, which the Kodak Park department successfully cleaned up, according to the release.
