January 24, 2008 - An underground gasoline leak in Holland's Midtown neighborhood at least a decade old is slated to be cleaned up over the next 10 years.
A since-demolished Amoco gas station and the existing South River Shell Mini-mart have contributed to the contamination and both are paying for the clean up, said Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Hydrogeologist Chris Christensen.
The plume of gasoline extends from the Shell station on the southeast corner of River Avenue and 15th Street north across 15th.
Leaks are a common problem, said Christensen, who works in the remediation and redevelopment division -- so are contamination plumes.
