The property contains a large oil tank which is partially on municipal property and is leaking oil into the soil. The supervisors - are attempting to get some coop- eration, from Atie, DER or Luzerne County, in removing the tank. - + “I'm concerned that the oil could some day contaminate one of our wells, which it is near,” said su- pervisor Joe Stager. ,, ~The supervisors were con- cerned about incurring further costs in cleaning up contaminated soil, which has already set the township back more than $200,000.
