August 24, 2009- The Department of Environmental Conservation knew of gas station spills that would pollute the water of a firehouse and taint the wells of residents since 1994. The gas station's water even tested high for the contaminating gas additive MTBE in 2001. But the DEC didn't tell neighbors of the contamination from the Hit or Miss Mobil until 2008, after two more spills and a truck accident at the Bullville firehouse well.
All of which makes neighbor George Larsen ask:
"I'm wondering why it took so long for anyone to find out? I came down with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1998 and I had no idea the spill took place. I'm wondering if there's any connection."
