WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING? THAT’S WHAT CIBOLA NATIONAL FOREST OFFICIALS ARE ASKING AFTER IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT SOMEONE HAS BEEN DUMPING CONTAINERS OF WHAT COULD BE MOTOR OIL IN THE MANZANO MOUNTAINS.
THE MOUNTAINAIR DISTRICT RANGER SAYS THE DUMPING MAY HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS, POSSIBLY CONTAMINATING THE SOIL AND GROUNDWATER. IT’S ESTIMATED THE CLEANUP COULD COST TAXPAYERS 10-THOUSAND DOLLARS.
