Problems/Comments
The release event ID 2311 for the Yellow Taxi Sourdough Cab on the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) database is closed in an administrative action by the project manager. Soil sample data from the excavation combined with observations by registered underground storage tank (UST) workers at the UST closure site indicate that the regulated tank and piping was intact and a gasoline release had not occurred. A corresponding petroleum release from the heating oil UST closed by removal at the same time is managed using the record on the Contaminated Sites Database under the name Yellow-Sourdough Taxi.

| 5/21/2007 | Site Visit | ADEC stopped by the office of Yellow Taxi but no one answered the door. The site of the former USTs is in the parking area in front of the building; as we passed it no odor or visual evidence of contamination in surface soil or puddles were observed and were not anticipated because the historical release was to subsurface soil and ground water. The playground next door was still active and just beyond that is Deer Creek; no stressed vegetation or surface disturbance indicating recent excavation was observed on the property. The area is serviced by the City of Ketchikan Public Water System. | Bruce Wanstall |

Release from the diesel UST at the same location is managed as an active site under Hazard ID 2991 and DEC file 1516.38.012. | Bruce Wanstall |
