On May 17, 1993, two underground storage tanks (USTs) at the Artesia Yard failed tank-tightness tests. A representative of the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) confirmed the release on August 2, 1993, when the tanks were removed (Fig. 2). In addition to removing the tanks and associated piping, which were the primary sources of contamination, the excavation contractor removed approximately 100 yards of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil from the former tankhold.
