Flood-Tilted Tank Floated To New Bed At Yerly Yard
A 700000 gallon fuel oil storage tank at Yerly Corporation yards south of Copeland Park on the Black River was floated 65 feet Monday to its original site. The 48 by 50 foot tank had tilted during the 1965 spring flood. A four man crew moved the tank with a cable and crane after digging a new sand bed and draining the pit. Yerly expects a new barge shipment to fill the tank around September 6 or 7.
