JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - Officials say nearly 2,000 gallons of gasoline leaked from underground piping at a Jamestown gas station last month.
Gary Berreth, manager of the state Health Department's underground storage tank program, says there might be some groundwater contamination, and there was gas vapor in one area home. But he says officials do not believe there is any big safety or health concern.
Berreth says the Health Department responds to two or three such incidents every year. JetStream Automatic Carwash operator Ray Mering has hired an
environmental consulting firm from Grand Forks to investigate how far the gasoline spread underground. He says it can be contained and cleaned up using a series of pumps.
