KNOXVILLE - Workers this morning are cleaning up a
paint additive that sloshed onto Dale Avenue from a tanker-trailer rig
that had just left the Dow Chemical plant.
Authorities at 10:28 a.m.
were alerted that a white liquid had spilled onto Dale Avenue at 17th
Street. Knoxville Fire Department officials opted at 10:30 a.m. to close
the ramp from Interstate 40 East so traffic wasn't running through the
spilled substance. The ramp was reopened at 11:20 a.m. and one lane of
Dale Avenue was open to traffic.
"It's a non-hazardous
material used for house paints," said Paul M. Fortunato, site leader for
Dow Chemical, 730 Dale Ave. That is the former Rohm and Haas
Company.
