Using the ERG, the distance that the spill should be isolated in all directions will be at least 150 feet.

The Emergency Response Guidebook provides summary information on potential hazards, public safety, emergency response etc. to unintended releases of goods being transported.

In this case, since it is estimated that 80% of the containers are leaking, the distance that the spill should be isolated in all directions will be at least 150 feet.
