The buyer has included the money the clean-up costs in the price they are willing to pay, but they need a clean site. This stuff usually bores my significant other to death, but it seriously affects the livability of a city, so I think it is pretty fascinating.

One of the most nagging questions for me is, why would Conoco volunteer to do this? What do they get out of it? But the spill in question is right in front of the 76 station, owned by Conoco. I never thought that station could be doing very well, especially with a Shell two blocks away that's always 10-20 cents cheaper. Veeeeery interesting indeed.

I am VERY surprised they have permission to work 24/7. Maybe they don't. The property is probably getting ready to be sold and rebuilt. No way could they get a building permit if there was a spill there, even if it is not hazardous. Maybe as a condition of the sale, the current owner has to clean up the mess and they are working fast so they can ditch the property and make their money sooner.
