MESA COUNTY - Firefighters in Mesa County say none of the acid that spilled in an accident early Wednesday morning ended up in the Colorado River
Two large containers of acid owned by the Halliburton Company fell off a truck along Highway 141 in Clifton. Between 400 and 500 gallons spilled when the containers broke. There was concern that some of the acid went into a storm drain that leads to the Colorado River.
Clifton firefighters who responded to the spill say they were able to contain it. The fire department does voice concern that Halliburton waited 15 to 20 minutes before notifying them of the accident.
Crews from the Grand Junction Fire Department, Colorado State Patrol, and state Department of Transportation were also called to the scene.
Assistant Fire Chief Greg Martin says Halliburton uses the acid for drilling processes.
