Dig a 10-15 foot hole in the ground with an excavator and remove about spent truck oil filters that someone buried in a construction yard.

 

Make sure you call DEP so they can come test the soil for contaminants (wink, wink ). When I was in construction we had a fair amount of "emergency" cleanups.

 

what's wrong with burying old oil filters? I have a hole in my backyard where I pour all my oil from oil changes and also throw my filters in there. The funny thing is, after I pour in 5 qts of oil and re-dig the hole in a few months time, the oil seems to evaporate - pretty efficient if you ask me.






just kidding dudes

 

jedraz-

I test for contaminants.

You're breaking the law and releasing regulated contaninants into the subsurface soil and possibly groundwater that may be a source of drinking water supply. People have gone to prison for that. Oil doesn't evaporate. It volatilizes into vapor and breaks down into breakdown compounds. People like you keep me in business. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.

I read your last sentence and commented on it. Oil does not evaporate. You're looking at soil that is contaminated and not identifying it. You're not seeing oil that has migrated laterally and vertically. That's efficient, all right -- efficient subsurface soil contamination.

 

The other last sentence, Raptor

Oh, yeah, sorry. I hate those scroll things on the right. Still friends?
