Anhydrous leak quickly contained in Elkton with no injuries

A leak at the Southern States in Elkton was quickly addressed Thursday morning with no injuries to report. 

That’s according to William Randolph with Todd County Emergency Management, who says a valve on a tank did not seal completely and leaked approximately 120 gallons of anhydrous ammonia. 

The leak was reported at roughly 9 a.m. and everything was contained before 10 a.m.

Randolph says two employees were checked out as a precaution by EMS, but they were not injured in the incident.
