FUEL or WASTE
CHEMICAL SPILL
My neighbor has been making diesel fuel
in the back yard. Some of it is for personal use, some is being sold
to customers. After a recent rain, some uncovered diesel fuel or
waste product overflowed and ran into my yard. After a few
days my grass began to die. The spill is very close to a
tree and is approaching other flowers and plantings and my house.
Here are pictures taken on 7/4/2006 (Let Freedom Ring!):

of the fuel spill. The grass is dying, the evergreen tree and peonies
are in the line of the runoff... |

Hydrangeas by the back porch may be next. |

 |
| Clearly, the runoff
is coming directly from this processing activity and is running downhill
TOWARDS MY HOUSE! |

| Here are some
different views of the "processing area." Note how there is not even
any grass left in the work area. |

processing area after they covered the big pot of fuel or waste with a sheet
of white plastic...after I complained. |
