Problems/Comments

In 2001, a site reconnaissance effort identified diesel range organics (DRO) above ADEC cleanup levels in soil. In 2000, a total of seven aboveground storage tanks (three vertical and four horizontal) were moved to the new community tank farm. According to the site reconnaissance report, two prior confirmed spills had occurred at the location of the former tank farm; on 5/18/1990 - 500 gallons of fuel oil; and on 7/16/1996 - 950 gallons of diesel (Prevention and Emergency Response Program (PERP) spill no. 96389919801, PERP file no. 460.02.002). 2001 reconnaissance report also notes minor soil staining beneath a 300-gallon heating oil tank at the City of Kiana Firehouse on Casonoff Street, north of the high school. Fuel handling practices at this potential source area will be addressed with the responsible party in conjunction with the former tank farm.
