Service Road, Pulaski Highway, Baltimore, Maryland | 1994-Aug-23

Initial Notification: On August 23, 1994, MSO Baltimore was notified that thirteen 55-gallon drums, possibly containing contaminated waste oil and an old home-heating oil tank were taken from a flat-bed trailer and abandoned on a service road in the 3500 block of the Pulaski Highway. Several of the drums were labeled "miscellaneous oils". A storm drain 100 feet away from the site fed into a tributary to the Patapsco River. These onscene observations by OSC representatives suggested that the drums posed an immediate threat to the environment and should be removed. USCG district 5. Keyword: none.
