@cbsatlanta: A sewage spill near a runway at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport released around 33,000 gallons into a wooded area Tuesday, airport officials said Wednesday. The spill occurred at a sewer lift station near the west end of Runway 10-28, with sewage flowing into an area next to Sullivan Creek. The cause remains under investigation. The lift station resumed normal operations about 90 minutes after the spill began, and crews applied a neutralizing agent to the affected ground and began monitoring water quality downstream in accordance with Georgia Environmental Protection Division requirements. The spill did not disrupt flights or passenger services, and the airport continues to operate normally. Hartsfield-Jackson issued the notice because publicly owned wastewater treatment agencies are legally required to notify the media when a sewage spill exceeds 10,000 gallons. Airport officials said they are working with state and local partners to limit the spill's effects, and the investigation remains ongoing.
