The previous leak in the EPA
This is the second incident since the beginning of the year, when only three weeks ago, on February 15, an incident of raw fuel leakage occurred at EPA facilities. It was then reported by the union and the municipality that the EPA had tried to hide the incident, but following the residents’ complaints and the quick action of the union and the municipality, the case was discovered.
The EPA stated in response: “As part of the company’s ongoing operational activities, a small amount of fuel was detected today in the company’s operational area in Ashkelon, amounting to a few tens of liters. According to the practice, the fuel was pumped, treated and the condition returned to normal in a very short time. The company reported to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the relevant parties who even visited the place. There were no gas smells in the area. “
