Short report on a carbon paint leak at an XPO site. EPA is involved. Not much detail here on the volume of the spill or what exactly is in this specific paint.

Carbon black is common in industrial coatings, but the cleanup cost for drains can be a nightmare. Wondering if this was a storage failure or a transport accident.

EPA involvement suggests it hit a threshold for reporting. It will be interesting to see if there are fines based on the containment failure.
