UPDATE NOVEMBER 2023

QUIET AND THEN NO QUIET

It's been a somewhat quiet summer with little to post since the ban on most DAF storage was passed by the Wicomico County Council. However, NAG is still vigilant and still unhappy that the tank is near our homes. Soon the winter storage should start and most likely we will see more tank truck traffic and smell the putrid DAF as the tank fills.

The biggest visible change is the clear cutting of the land on which the tank sits. The corner of Porter Mill and Riggin roads is quite bare of trees, the tank is monumentally visible and its lights break the darkness of the night skies. Any filter between the nearby residents and tank-related activities is gone.

The before and after photos show the stark difference.
