An issue with a fuel pipeline owned by BP in Christian County led to a large-scale cleanup Saturday morning.
Christian County emergency personnel say a leak was found in a pipeline located in a remote field off of Buck Fork River Road near McKinney Road. The leak was caused by a third-party excavating company accidentally striking the line.
State and federal environmental protection officials have been conducting ongoing air and water monitoring in an effort to ensure that all environmental and health concerns are addressed.
British Petroleum along with the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection, Kentucky Emergency Management, and Christian County Emergency Management are working together to create a plan to clean up the area.
