~OTES to FILE ref. West Bethel Service Center Storage of Materials complaint
Based upon a complaint phoned to me on Friday afternoon, June 16 from Officer Greg Porter,
an investigation was performed with the Fire Marshal, Troy Glidewelh on Monday morning.
Photographs were taken later on Monday, June 19, to document the extent of the conditions
observed that include:
1. about 20 square foot area of oil contaminated soil near 4-5 drums of apparently
"spent" oil mixed with rainwater. Some drums uncovered, contents on ground from
overturned 55-gallon drum(s).
2. strong odor around the yellow house where 55 ga!Ion drums of pesticide product
are stored, mixed. Old beverage containers apparently are used to dilute the bulk
pesticide liquid into smaller applicators.
3. tar is stored, dispensed, whatever, on the west side of the yellow house and is
all over the ground as well.
4. high grass, concrete forms, obsolete [?J city vehicles, about 6-7, placed in the
rear of the lot to the south of the yellow house. An abandoned orange trailer once
used by Animal Control before my time, and piles of wire are also back of the house.
5. although the house has posted signs (see one of the photos) about the pesticides
inside, security is breached by the broken, open windows.
6. the underground storage tank containing gasoline, will be available for subsequent
use by the Fire Dept. fo~~ diesel fuel per Howard Pafford, Water Utilities Supervisor
in Public Works provided a pressure test is performed after it is excavated from its
present location on the east side of the tract.
Since the land has a new proposed use by the Coppell I.S.ID., in particular, the house
that is very odorous from chemical storage, it is imperative to initiate proper clean
up of the entire site end instigate corrective storage and dispensing methods by
city personnel.
