Mobile and Ohio Railyard Site Former Greenberg Salvage Property
Cox Trucking, located in Murphysboro, Illinois, was issued a Violation Notice by the Jackson County Health Department in December 1998. Materials from drums were reportedly discarded on property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of 19th and Gartside Streets. Soil samples taken from the area where the drums were dumped showed elevated levels of lead apparently not related to the drum contents. The lead contamination was found on the property (2.34 acres of land) that Cox Trucking previously purchased from a former salvage yard to provide additional parking for their trucking operation.
