Monitoring Underground Storage
FTLComm - Tisdale
January 13, 2000
It is reassuring to see this process take place, several times each year Seven
Eleven has been checking to see that what they put in their new tanks, stays
in their new tanks. In the fall we showed you a picture of test holes and soil samples
be done to check on the area around the underground storage. Yesterday this technician
was sending probes down into the capped holes around the site checking the ground
water for possible fuel contamination. He explained that he and his company were
doing similar regular testing at several other Tisdale fuel selling companies including
Imperial Oil.
After reporting to you about the various locations
in town that are contaminated and therefore not able to be sold, it is good to
be able to show you this positive activity that is taking place to keep a watch on
the ground water and the environment here. With the solid clay base under Tisdale
and the surrounding area it is extremely important to watch what goes into the ground
and make sure things stay put.
