Analyzing transportation‐related hazardous material spills in New England

Crusberg, Theodore C. / Smith, David L.

This study shows that transportation‐related hazardous material spills are common in New England, and surface water supplies should be protected from this problem. A statistical analysis of reports made to the US Environmental Protection Agency in Region I (Lexington, Mass.) indicates that under‐reporting of such spills may be a serious hindrance to new legislation that would aid in protecting supplies of potable water. However, the more serious incidents were more likely to be reported to the federal government.
