You’re on the scent. I also have read a source(I don’t remember) which said contaminates most likely blew over 200 hundred miles.

After contributing to this thread I went on a little research project… what I concluded is lawyers are only collecting people from a 30 mile radius. That’s about it. There is diddly squat besides that.

I would think directly downstream would be affected for a while. I live 75 miles as the crow flies upstream. Everyone is eerily quiet about it here.

I don’t see why not. If your area has a disposal service that is best, but this is a alternative solution. I’ve done it with oil mixed with coolant, gasoline, etc…. I’m sure someone is smarter than me and will tell me why I’m wrong though. I’m up for a solution better than mine. I work on all my own equipment and always have RV antifreeze, coolant, and what not.

I live in a town in PA that doesn’t have any resource to take old gas or coolant. So I do it myself. Here’s my advice. Gasoline evaporates very quickly. Buy some bags of kitty litter, and contractor bags. Pour small amounts of gas into the kitty litter, let it evaporate, and repeat. Of course you want to do this in your yard in a place that has zero chance of kids playing or cigarette smokers. Throw it all in contractor bags and it goes to the landfill. Landfills are supposed to be properly lined to protect the environment, and if you use expensive contractor bags and double them up there’s a good chance your bags won’t even get punctured. I look at it like I can’t depend on a moron to do it so I’ll do it so it had a chance to not leech out into a water source.

I laminated first. The sink hole will be covered by the sink so it has trim covering it. I just taped where I was cutting and that prevents any cracking.
