Even clean petroleum is biodegradable, I suppose. When spilled on the ground, the volume will overwhelm any existing plants. As time passes it become difficult to see the visual evidence of a spill. Spills that have brine associated with the petroleum are another matter. Evidence of the spill remains for years. Where such spills are on, crop land the evidence eventually disappear, but i still takes a long time. Not that I recommend WVO be spread on the ground. Why not salvage it? Could you gently wash it with water in a drum, and draw the water off, after it separates? Doug, N0LKK Kansas USA inc.
