SITE HISTORY: The site had an abandoned, burned down truck-washing & maintenance garage and an old abandoned gas-station/garage with gas pump isles & associated piping, UST's, small AST's, contaminated soils, drums and tires. The abandoned gas station was transferred to the City of Muskegon Heights through tax reversion, while the burned down truck maintenance garage is still in the tax reversion process.  The unsecured buildings, tanks, contaminated soils and drums present a potential hazard to nearby residents.
