MINOR GASOLINE ODOURS IN DOWNTOWN ELMIRA

To date I've been advised by two people in regards to gasoline odours from the remediation of the Mac's/Becker's gas station and variety on Arthur St. The first was around noon hour on Tuesday (Aug. 30/11) and the other was early yesterday morning. The first was from across the street and the second was on the same side of the street as the excavation. I would characterize both of these as minor although technically an off site impact of a pollutant is definitely a no-no. I'm not sure if contingency plans including odour suppressing foam are in the works but if not the phone number for the M.O.E.'s Spills Action Centre (SAC) is 1 800 2686060.
