St. Maarten Private Eye

The property at the former Texaco is a ticking bomb. The VROM department does not have the expertise to test for contamination and has asked the Texaco/ Chevron principles to do the test themselves and submit it to the govenrment department for review. Now why would Texaco submit a negative review and further more, they are not going to police themselves
The Meyers family is not willing to pay a whole lot of money on these tests either. One former operator of this gas station mentioned that he was losing lots of money everyday, because the gas product was seaping into the ground and probably into the trench which leads to the fresh pond. They told the good gentleman that he was not working in the interest of the company, and therefor not on their side.
I for one would not go anywhere near that building when it's being demolished.
We need to encourage federal inspectors to come from Curacao or Holland or Trinidad to look into this former gas station and do soil test NOW
