http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/msds/h3po4.htm is a hazard sheet talking about health risks since the health department has now issued a warning that there has indeed been a spill into Flecher creek. The hazard sheet not only talks about health risks but also about how the actions being taken to make the water less acidic does not fully protect against ground water contamination (in the ecological section of the hazard sheet). The hazard sheet also talks about absorbing the chemical with vermiculite and storing the hazardous waste in a approved container for disposal.

I would hate to be the person out there guarding this all night. Hope they can get it cleaned up in the morning when it is daylight.

worked for csx rr 44 years, most bad derailments took place on nights just like this.
i with other employees were 1st. responders to just this type derailment.
no fires to stay warm by as you never knew what was in the tank cars.
pray every worker there stays safe and warm best they can.

Oh man! Glad no one was hurt. Any idea what happened? How bad is this acid, if it leaks? How is the weather affecting the cleanup?
