Field measurements and observations indicate that perhaps 10 to 20 <br /> cubic yards of soil were contaminated with an organic compound. Laboratory analyses indicate <br /> that the organic compound involved is probably gasoline. <br /> The location of the apparent contamination is adjacent to the former site of a conveyor that was <br /> a part of the plant facilities. It is unlikely that a fuel storage tank was located in this area. <br /> Based on the data described above, we consider that this apparent contamination was probably <br /> caused by an isolated gasoline spill from a vehicle, or possibly from a paint thinner spill from <br /> L J CONDOR <br />
