One of the stations down the road a ways was shut down almost 2 years after the powers that be caught them with a disabled leak detection system. It had been going off for a while so they unhooked it to shut it up.
I cleaned up some tank sites as part of the early deployment of light rail through Rainier Valley in Seattle. Part of the deal was locating and removing old tanks on Rainier Ave, and doing any remediation. We chased gas and oil, and I had one hole open on the edge of the Ave that they had me quit on before I undermined the roadway. The tests were still coming up dirty and the answer would have been to shut down the road and then start plowing through all those pesky utilities like water, sewer, gas, fiber and phone. It had cleaned up quite a bit though when they pulled the plug on us. That hole was right underneath where the vegetable bin sits now. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WKW3Ua4Xm3NGu4ga7
