Owner of sunken NY-Vt lake tug to seek pollutants | Niagara Falls ...

MONTPELIER, Vt. — The company that owns a tugboat that sank in Lake Champlain almost 50 years ago plans to hire a contractor to see if any fuel remaining in the boat’s tanks could pollute the lake between upstate New York and Vermont, an official with the Environmental Protection Agency said Friday.

McAllister Towing and Transportation Co., of New York, is negotiating with a Buffalo company to send a diver to the tug William McAllister to see if its tanks contain fuel and, if needed, pump the fuel to the surface, said the EPA’s Paul Kahn, who is overseeing the project to ensure the tug doesn’t pose an environmental threat to the lake.

“They’ve been very cooperative,” Kahn said of McAllister. “They’ve been verbally cooperative, now they’ve publicly committed to doing this.”

Kahn said he planned to call a meeting with company officials within the next few weeks to set a date for the expedition to the McAllister, which sank in November 1963 after hitting a reef about five miles south of Port Kent, N.Y., and about eight miles west of Burlington, Vt.

McAllister officials did not respond Friday to an email request for comment.

Last summer, Kahn oversaw an expedition that sent a remotely operated dive vehicle to the wreck, which sits in about 160-feet of water.

No one knows for sure how much diesel fuel was in the tug’s fuel tanks when it sank while sailing south after delivering a barge of aviation fuel to the now-closed Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The tug’s crew climbed onto the barge as it sank and no one was injured.

The EPA is concerned the fuel tanks could rupture or a private diver could accidentally release thousands of gallons of fuel into the lake, creating an environmental disaster.

The EPA had been planning to mount the expedition to the tug. It had been scheduled for late May, but it had to be delayed because of high water on the lake.

In an email message to Kahn, which Kahn posted on the Internet Friday, McAllister Vice President Steve Kress said his company was in an “expedited process of contract negotiations” with a contractor to carry out the dive.

“Once the contract is in place (the contractor) is looking to commence the project in the next few weeks and we are very confident that they will do so to everyone’s satisfaction,” said Kress’s message.
