This is the best time for it to happen if it affects farmland. Not as in it will destroy crops, but as in any damage can be repaired before crops are planted. If it has caused an increase in acid in the soil (the most likely contamination), the soil is tested before it's plowed. Any deficiencies will show up in the testing allowing the farmer to amend the soil when they plow and repair any nutritional damage to it before the spring planting. Edit: Possible bonus is the chemical company will pay for the needed additives to the soil.

The EPA is correct. It is the responsibility of the company that manufacturers the chemicals to clean it up. That's because they have on hand and access to clean up materials. There's a foam that's used to neutralize chemical spills that these companies have to keep on hand. Just like if there's a fire, the local fire department isn't allowed into the plant. The company has a fire and rescue team that are trained on how to properly put them out. Just like a grease fire, water would just spread the fire around. Local firefighters remain outside the gate in case they're needed for additional rescue and to inform the public when it's out. I've lived around dangerous chemicals like this my entire life. I even worked around them in the summer as a teenager. Spills are common and as long as properly neutralized, cause little longterm risk. Several years ago one of them had the hydrochloric acid plant explode because a transformer went out and caught it on fire. The electric company was to blame because they knew better than to place it that close. There are people that live right behind the plant and nobody has died or got sick as a result. I find all this panic entertaining.

@omegaman7377 That had nothing to do with food processing plants burning down. The largest manufacturing plant was shutdown due to contamination and it took 2 or 3 months to get it cleaned and back up and running. Most chemical companies take this stuff seriously and will do things like that because it's easier than dealing with lawsuits and it's good PR.
