Problems/Comments

A 6,000 gallon used oil underground storage tank and associated piping and sump were closed during a demolition project at the Anchorage Municipal Landfill. One sample collected at the sump exceeded the migration to groundwater cleanup level for diesel range organics. The source of the release was likely the piping at the connection to the sump located in the warehouse, the cause of the release is not known.
