 Spill of animal waste by-products closes intersection for second time this year web posted July 1, 2009  EDGEFIELD – A spill
of chicken and pork
by-products closed traffic in Edgefield for the second time
since April and involved the same company. A Carolina By-Products
truck, out of Ward SC, hauling the waste material was traveling through
the 4-way stop at Jeter Street, Highway 23, and the Highway 25 Bypass
when the spill took place around 8 pm. The spill closed a majority of
traffic until midnight as the clean up took place.Edgefield Police closed traffic to all personal vehicles during the clean up but did allow heavy transport trucks to continue their traffic through the state highway bypass alternating between the southbound and northbound lanes. The South Carolina Transport Police were also contacted and cited the driver, as did Edgefield Police for the spill. Carolina By-Products sent a clean up crew to the scene to remove the waste from the roadway. The material, described at “guts and innards” presented a greasy covering of the roadway which made driving conditions hazardous. The truck was said to be in route from Elberton Ga. to a reclamation site at the company in Ward. It is unknown at this time if the truck was overloaded, which may have contributed to the spill. State Transportation Police were in the process of weighing the truck at press time and the results were unknown. © Copyright 2009
