Problems/Comments
In January 2012 a fuel line to a 275-300-gallon aboveground heating oil tank adjacent to a residence at 121 East Chestnut Lane in Haines was severed by snow falling off of the roof. The severed line went undiscovered until after the tank was refilled and immediately thereafter discovered to be empty again. The total volume of diesel released to the ground was estimated at ~250 gallons. Free product was observed in test pits. Initial response actions included application of sorbents, interception ditches, and installation of a ventilation system. Analytical data were not available and the contamination has not been fully characterized.
