SCOTIA — Some of the roughly 1,400 gallons of non-hazardous glue that was spilled outside a warehouse Wednesday morning has reached the Mohawk River, the state Department of Environmental Conservation said Friday.

"The spill does not pose a threat to public health or the environment," DEC spokesman Kevin Frazier said. "No drinking water intakes have been impacted, and nearby and downstream municipalities have been notified."

State investigators have determined that a delivery truck's hose connection malfunctioned and poured the glue onto the dirt outside the cardboard manufacturer NORAMPAC Co.'s facility, at 108 Corporation Park.

The glue — which s a water-based vinyl acetate and zinc nitrate, similar to the glue used in children's crafts — reached a drain pipe between two warehouses, Frazier said.

The spill happened at about 9 a.m. Wednesday and was reported anonymously about 24 hours later.

The DEC's regional spill response unit was sent immediately, Frazier said.

The state unit will oversee the cleanup, which is being performed by the company's environmental contractor, Clean Harbors. The crew is using a Vac Truck to suck glue out of a series of storm drains near the facility.

"Overnight rains have resulted in a minor amount of the glue being discharged into the Mohawk River," Frazier said. "Spills crews were closely monitoring discharge outlets for impacts to the river and immediately worked to collect the spill."

The glue has been contained to an roughly 40-foot radius and no one was injured, Frazier said. The DEC is not aware of any previous spills at the Scotia facility.

No charges or fines have been filed at this time and the state's investigation into Wednesday's spill is ongoing.
