EPA probes fish death following fuel leak in NSW

The Environmental Protection Agency is looking into a significant fish kill following a major fuel spill on the NSW South Coast. A tanker carrying fuel became stuck on a dirt road, leading to the release of approximately 2,500 liters of fuel into a nearby creek. The incident occurred 30 kilometers away from where the tanker was supposed to deliver its cargo. Local authorities are working to assess the environmental impact of the spill. The EPA is conducting an investigation to determine the cause and extent of the damage. Wildlife officials are also monitoring the affected area for long-term effects. The spill has raised concerns about the safety of local waterways and ecosystems. Community members are urging for transparency and swift action to prevent further harm.

The spill highlights the environmental risks associated with fuel transportation and the need for improved safety measures.
