Problems/Comments
There are over two hundred drums on the property with over one hundred of them full of waste oil, many of them leaking, resulting in hydrocarbon contaminated, stained soil. A Notice of Violation and letter of State Intent was issued on 10/12/1992 to Leo Rollins, property owner. This site is a candidate for state lead cleanup. Update 2/13/2012 by Paul Horwath: ADEC's spill response staff and KSA staff initiated response work in the early 1990s. It appears that the drums have been removed and/or the remaining contents properly tended to. The used oil may have been used for heating oil. However there is no evidence that the hazardous substance releases to the land were ever cleaned up. There is no documentation of any assessment or cleanup, under the oversight of an impartial, qualified, environmental consultant. Any ADEC efforts to pursue the cleanup of hazardous substances appear to have ceased in approximately 1996 - 16 years ago. This site will remain listed as an open site in this ADEC contaminated sites database until a qualified, impartial consultant assesses the property and provides a written report identifying the environmental status of the soil and contaminant concentrations.

Assessment and /or cleanup may be prompted concurrent with future land transaction or property sale. | Peter Campbell |
