Abstract
INTRODUCTION Environmental calamities such as tanker truck crashes and pipeline leaks do not always occur in well populated areas. Tanker truck crashes can occur on remote mountain passes or lonely stretches of highway. Pipeline leaks can occur in distant areas of open range or other isolated locations. Treatment of these spills requires the ability to clean up the contamination with very few standard resources. Often these sites will not have access to electricity or cellular service and just getting to the location of the spill can require a long drive from the nearest town. These restrictions can often limit treatment options to those that can be completed quickly and without needing long term access to the site. The remediation of petroleum fuels spilled during several tanker truck roll-overs will be discussed below, along with the obstacles presented by each site and the innovations needed to complete the remediation.
