Under that agreement, construction of a concrete <br /> containment collar with an oil/water separator sump and a <br /> concrete pad at asphalt and fuel tanks for trucks transferring <br /> asphalt and fuel was required by May 1993. The Nello Teer <br /> Company made the required improvements by the specified date. <br /> FLORA AND FAUNA.
