Ybbs Witnesses Environmental Disturbance Following Excavator Malfunction
In a recent environmental incident, an oil spill occurred on the Ybbs river in the municipality of Amstetten. The accident was triggered by a defect on an excavator, leading to the spill.
The Amstetten District Administrative Authority and the police were swiftly alerted to the incident, and three fire departments - Amstetten, Greinsfurth, and Ulmerfeld-Hausmening - were deployed to the scene, both on land and beside the water.
The firefighters took immediate action, using oil booms and skimmers to prevent the spread of the oil and collect it. Their joint effort successfully contained the spill and prevented major environmental damage.
To minimise ecological harm, specialized response teams were deployed for cleanup operations. The authorities also initiated monitoring of water quality and aquatic life to assess and control the environmental impact.
Investigations are underway to identify the source of the spill and prevent recurrence. Additionally, coordination with local environmental agencies is being carried out to enforce regulations and implement remediation measures.
