IDEM has received notification of a diesel fuel released to the White River from the Indianapolis Power and Light Petersburg power generating plant. The release occurred sometime last night and was discovered this morning. The threat of further releases to the White River has been successfully mitigated. However, petroleum sheening and potential petroleum odor may still be observed along the White River. IDEM recommends the public avoid the section of the White River from Petersburg, Pike County to the Wabash River until the petroleum sheen has dissipated.
