There is a fuel leak at the former Palko's gas station on S. Schenley at Bears Den Road.
Here is news report from WKBN.

We've had heavy rains like that before and probably even heavier rains a time or two without any leak so I figure the tank(s) have been slowly filling up and Tuesday's heavy rain was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I passed this area late today. A city truck was there and a pump appeared to be pumping contaminated water into a series of three IBC tanks and ultimately into a large green tank on wheels. There was a faint smell of gasoline in the air.
The initial liquid run-off from this incident flowed into the storm sewer next to the pothole I reported about several days ago.
Update, Tuesday, April 16
A city pickup truck is there and a generator is running.
The large green tank trailer has been removed.
The city pickup truck is still there.
The city pickup truck is no longer on the property.
