May 17, 2007 - The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) this week ordered Getty Realty Corp. and Getty Petroleum Marketing to investigate and correct soil and groundwater contamination from three underground storage tanks at the Getty gas station located at 2100 Market St., Linwood, Penn.
The administrative order also makes provisions for monitoring and mitigating air quality issues. Many homes have been monitored for petroleum vapors since 2005. In June of that year, DEP received the results of indoor air sampling tests that were conducted at two residences near the station. The sampling tests found an elevated level of benzene, a gasoline additive and known carcinogen, in one of the homes.
