HERINGTON — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says workers continue to clean up a sulfuric acid spill from Union Pacific Railroad’s rail yard in Herington. The sulfuric acid came from a leaking tank car and got into Lime Creek at Herington Jan. 8. Ph levels in Lime Creek have returned to normal ranges, KDHE’s Jennifer Nichols said. However, limestone filter dams used to contain the tainted water are still in place and won’t be removed until later, she said.
