There is evidence of hazardous waste disposal of old oil filters and discarded tires from the car repair shop.  There is discarded building material on the site from the new multi-family development, as well as, various types of trash from people walking through the site.  There is an underground storage tank at the gas station which is located on the corner of Bandera Rd. and Huebner Rd.
