Clean Up Crews at Work

ASHLAND, Ore. -- Crews working in Ashland Saturday were able to move the semi-truck that crashed into Bear Creek Thursday afternoon.

Now, they're placing sand bags around the contaminated area and removing less than 200 yards of cubic material.

Excavation will be done Sunday. The soil that's removed will be put in the median and hauled off on Monday.

Then more work has to be done, the area that's demolished they'll be replanting and rehabilitating.
Biologists were also downstream Saturday checking for any damage to the creek but they say it looks good.

They were mainly concerned about diesel entering Bear Creek from the accident but they were able to contain it before it made it there.

Crews will be continuing work all next week but do not anticipate affecting traffic.
