Public health, dept. of environmental quality assisting in investigation of sheen, fuel odor in Fargo

FARGO (KVRR-KFGO) – Fargo Cass Public Health and the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality will determine whether any cleanup is required after a sheen was detected over the weekend in Rose Coulee University Drive and 40th Avenue S. in Fargo.

The fire department deployed absorbent booms but was not able to find the source of the possible contamination. Fire crews responded after someone reported an odor of fuel coming from the coulee. Firefighters could also smell it, but were not able to determine the source of the odor. They stopped the flow of the coulee to the river.

They were on the scene for more than three hours Sunday afternoon.
