Royster's Tire Disposal south of Tracy on South MacArthur Drive, near Linne Rd. The tire dump held over 7 million illegally stored tires and was allowed to burn for over two years before it was extinguished. Allowing the fire to burn was considered to be a better way to avoid groundwater contamination than putting it out.[3] The cleanup cost $16.2 million and wound up contaminating [county] groundwater anyway.[4][5] Demographics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy,_California 8/3/2011
