Temple Emmanual Oil Spill Cleanup

CommTank drilled down into the bedrock, between 20-30 feet, to see if the oil moved there. Ground and air monitoring was conducted and indicated there was no danger to area residents. When oil was found in the bedrock, it was removed and the rest was treated with a peroxide, at a grade 10 times stronger than the normal variety, that breaks the hydrogen bond, changes the structure and essentially turns the oil into water. The temple was again habitable by February 2009 for services and events.
