3 days agoLone gas station on Alameda's Bay Farm Island closing by end of month
Blame the shutdown of Bay Farm's only fuel stop on the estimated $2 million price tag to remove the station's old single-walled underground gas storage tank and replace it with a state-mandated double-walled one - an environmental upgrade. That's just too high for station owner Simon Kim. When Kim was first notified several years ago that he needed a double-walled tank, the cost was $1 million. He says at the time he thought he could handle that.
