(KSL News) -- Mustard gas leaked from a storage container at the Deseret Chemical Depot.

Officials believe about two tablespoons of the liquefied chemical spilled yesterday.

Depot workers wore protective clothing while decontaminating the container. Then they moved it to another building and replaced a plug and two valves. No vapor escaped.

Mustard gas leaked three times at the Depot last October.

Officials at the depot say the community was never in danger.
