It came from containers that fell off a truck on to State Highway 29 near the summit of the Kaimai Ranges shortly after six this morning.
The highway will remain closed for most of the day.
Waikato Regional Council has advised nearby water users .. and is urging anyone who takes water from the Mahina-A-Rangi Stream down to the Waiomou Stream to take extreme caution.
Detours are in place via Rotorua or Karangahake Gorge, but those detours aren't suitable for heavier trucks.
