A trailer overturned, spilling hot asphalt binder on Highway 199 in Northern California on April 26, 2022.A truck driver who law enforcement believes was driving under the influence dumped 2,000 gallons of"hot asphalt binder" in aRaoul Payette, Jr., 58, was driving on Highway 199 in Del Norte County Tuesday with a damaged tire, California Highway Patrol said.
Officials from Six Rivers National Forest said the trailer contained 2,000 gallons of"hot asphalt binder," which began seeping into the Smith River. "Asphalt binder turns into a solid substance once the temperature of the binder reaches about 100-125 degrees — which means when the material hit the cold river it turned into a solid," national forest spokespeople wrote on Facebook."Although we are still concerned with possible harm done to natural resources, knowing more about the substance re-assures us the spread of liquid material in the river is minimal.
