Gas leak at Cumberland Falls Circle K
By Becky Manley / Staff Writer
The Environmental Protection Agency was investigating a gasoline leak at Circle K located at the intersection of Cumberland Falls Road and Fifth Street Road Tuesday afternoon.
EPA officials as well as firefighters from Corbin and Oak Grove pried access caps off of underground tanks while searching for the source of the leak.
According to Corbin police, enough gasoline leaked onto the station's pavement at one point to leave standing puddles of gasoline.
The gasoline is believed to have run into a drain that feeds into a small creek located across Fifth Street Road.
An official from the Environmental Protection Agency in Frankfort said a report would not likely be available on the leak until Thursday due to the Veteran's Day holiday.
