Hi-Crush Issues Update Regarding Whitehall Incident, WDNR Test Results
June 11 2018 - 6:41PM
Hi-Crush Partners LP (NYSE:HCLP), or “Hi-Crush," today issued the
following statement related to progress it is making on remediating
the area in Trempealeau County impacted after a detention pond berm
was intentionally breached as part of a successful effort to rescue
a trapped worker at the Company’s Whitehall, Wi., facility:
“Hi-Crush continues to contribute significant
resources and is making steady progress toward cleanup and
remediation of the area, and is encouraged by the results. On June
6th, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued
preliminary test results from surface water samples upstream and
downstream of runoff near the release source and near entry of a
creek into the Trempealeau River. Nominal impact on the river is
evident in the initial test results. DNR confirmation that
concentrations at the river meet surface water quality standards is
consistent with our expectations. Further, it is positive that DNR
continues to report no fish kills.
“Hi-Crush has provided DNR with our initial
sampling results, which correlate well with the agency’s initial
results. We also performed sampling for acrylamide and, as
presumed, no acrylamide was present [in the samples]. That is more
good news for the community. Further, follow up sampling indicates
a significant reduction in suspended solids in the waterways. Our
runoff best-management practices are working as intended, and we
will maintain those practices throughout our cleanup efforts.
We continue to perform additional sampling, and results will be
shared with DNR when available. Regardless, we do not expect future
sample results to show any issues of concern for the community; we
expect conditions to keep improving. We will continue to focus on
working with our partners in the community on cleanup and
remediation.”
