ROCK SPRINGS — The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating a recent suspected illegal dumping case involving industrial oil drums on Little Bitter Creek Road, near Blairtown Connector Road, south of Rock Springs.
According to the SCSO, the dumping of the oil drums poses contamination risks to the Bitter Creek.
“When tossed out, large amounts of liquid oil leaked and spilled from the containers into the surrounding environment, risking contamination into Bitter Creek,” the SCSO said.
