New information shows that the flooding caused two oil leaks.
In both cases oil storage tanks were knocked over by flood waters.
Both cases also involved condensate, a combination of water and oil, lessening the impact.
Near Platteville, more than thirteen thousand gallons were leaked into the St. Vrain River.
Over five thousand gallons entered the South Platte River, near Miliken.
The rush of waters carried the oil down stream and dispersed it to such a degree that no major traces will be found.
