The witness told the news station that a HAZMAT crew needed to be called to clean up the mess.
In a statement to the press, the DNC said it was all an “honest mistake” and they will assist with any investigation and cleanup.
This was an honest mistake and we apologize to the Lawrenceville community for any harm we may have caused. We were unaware of any possible violations and have already taken corrective action with the charter bus company to prevent this from happening again. Furthermore, the DNC will work with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, as well as local and state officials to determine the best course of corrective action
Apparently, there are now two government entities investigating the incident — Gwinnett County Storm Water along with State Environment Protection Department.
