Uh.. yes.. as a civil engineer, I'm quite aware of the effects of manmade products on the environment. I work with DEP on a daily basis. On a bad day, a broken oil line on a truck can shut down a 3 million$ project.. ask me how I know.
A vehicle accident involving spilt diesel on a dirt surface requires mitigation from the state or federal government in control of that area, including but not limited to, a hazmat team to come in and remove the contaminated dirt and sourounding soil, replacement, and then the soiled dirt has to be sent away to be 'cleaned'. Our insurance carrier paid in the mid 5 digits for a truck accident one of our drivers had 10 years ago in which a 50g diesel tank ruptured on the side of the road during a crash. The GC I work for was involved in some of those superfund cleanup contracts. Wonderfull stuff can get into the soil from leakinf gas and diesel tanks. Burried paint products are the best... you would love to see what benzene does to human tissue... DOT classifies used motor oil as hazardous waste.. Every polutant that comes out of a tail pipe can be found in that oil... hydrogen sulfide.. other acidic compounds.. heavy metals.. you name it.. so yes.. that 'BS' as you casually put it.. is true.
