A man was walking his dog in the desert off of Highway 95 north of town and came across about 60 1-gallon plastic jugs holding used oil. The jugs were strewn across the ground, many leaking oil onto the ground. So, he reported it to our office and I investigated the case. It was on DOT property so I have been working with DOT to get it cleaned up. It's been 5 1/2 months, but they are finally making progress. I was out there today and they have numbered the larger spots, you can see two of them in this photo if you enlarge it. The oil has absorbed into the ground so they will need to test the soil and then test as they dig it out to make sure all the oil contaminated soil is removed. The next photo is just a scenery photo, looking toward the east at the Sheep Range. One day I'll "take" you up there. It's beautiful!
