Directly adjacent to Tank Farm 1 is the Tank Farm 2 property which occupies approximately 96 acres of land. Tank Farm 2 consists of eleven underground storage tanks (USTs) which were constructed, operated, and decommissioned on a similar timeline to Tank Farm 1. Between 1996 and 1997, all eleven tanks were cleaned and refilled with water to prevent groundwater intrusion. The surface of the site is similar to Tank Farm 1 in that it is a combination of largely scrub brush and wooded areas interspersed with paved roadways and two small vacant buildings (former fire station and electrical utility structure) along Bradford Avenue.
