(2) Not applicable. (3) Both sites would consider undertaking bioremediation of oily wastes if approached to do so. Such wastes may periodically emanate from the decommissioning of underground hydrocarbon storage tanks, or from the clean-up of hydrocarbon contaminated soil from commercial, or industrial activities or from accidental spillages on roads.
