Temple Emmanual Oil Spill Cleanup
In December of 2007, 750 gallons of oil broke through an old tank in the basement of Temple Emmanuel on Chestnut Street in Wakefield and seeped into the porous concrete and soil below. After collecting only about 20 gallons after the spill, CommTank completed a two-day drilling event. Using a conveyor belt to move the soil dug by hand by three crew members from a 15-foot wide and five-foot deep hole in the basement to the left side of the temple, 50.7 tons of soil was removed from the site to a facility in Louden, N.H.
