From the Joplin Globe:
NEOSHO, Mo. — A Neosho business has been referred to the state attorney general’s office for allegedly failing to provide documentation that it has either closed an underground gasoline storage tank or protected it from corrosion, according to the state.
A release from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources states that Super Stop No. 12, 800 S. Neosho Blvd., has been referred for failing to provide that documentation.
A phone message left Monday for a DNR spokesman about what range of penalties the store might face was not returned. The release said the attorney general’s office could compel compliance and negotiate a penalty.
A phone message left for the gas station owner, Bob Foster, on Monday was not returned.
DNR records state that the business has a storage tank of bare steel that, without protection against corrosion, must be closed. The agency said it has sent Foster a letter advising him of that requirement, as well a letter of warning and two notices of violation, and engaged in six telephone conversations with him to no avail.
