CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) - Responders will perform a spill containment drill on Tuesday, Nov. 2 in Champaign. 

The drill will happen from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on that date with a simulated 911 call. In order to replicate a large oil spill from a fuel farm, the Champaign Fire Department will put dye in storm drains near the University of Illinois' oil storage tanks on South Oak Street. 

The dye will then travel south to the Embarras River watershed, which is east of the Illinois Fire Service Institute. 

Responders said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires this drill. It satisfies the Abbott Power Plant's Facility Response Plan requirements.
