Oil Spill Contained at R.D. Bailey Lake in West Virginia: Local Advocate Raises Concerns

An oil spill from an Appalachian Power station in Wyoming County, West Virginia, has been contained at R.D. Bailey Lake, with no confirmed harm to water or wildlife. However, local water quality advocate Frye has raised alarms about potential risks, as strong oil odors were detected in the Clear Fork Valley and Guyandotte River earlier this year. Appalachian Power crews are on site, working under Department of Environmental Protection oversight and with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers support, amid ongoing water concerns in the coalfields.
