It’s been over 58 hours since a wellhead burst in Grand County, releasing thousands of pounds of natural gas and causing campers to evacuate.
“You can see this white plume coming out,” said camper Stone Parker. “With no sign or understanding of how they’re going to shut it, what’s going on, and what gas is actually coming out of the ground.”
The sheriff’s office evacuated the two-mile radius around the well and shut down the main road. The closure forced campers like Parker and his son to stay in Utah and miss a plane ride back home to Washington. “To have a road closure like this, you can truly be abandoned since there simply aren’t alternative routes to get from one place to the other,” said Lorenzo McGregor, co-owner of Tex’s Riverways.
The sheriff said campers are safe since they are a few miles away. It’s the one-mile radius that’s a concern.
