Problems/Comments

During the excavation of a culvert, petroleum contaminated groundwater was encountered. The origin of the oil is unknown, but possible was released in 1974 by a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) contractor. The contaminated groundwater was found across the street from the suspected release site. Jim Hopkins now owns the suspected release site.

3/22/2005 Update or Other Action Reviewed limited file. No clear cut RP for the release. All interviews point to a 1974 HUD contractor tank spill at the site. This is an oprhaned site, with both private and public property, requiring additional assessment, if State funding is available, to be able to determine if Hopkins Construction is the cause or contributing to the contamination or if it is only attributable to the 1974 HUD release. Site will remain inactive until a funding source is determined. Donald Seagren
