The Hayes-Sammons Warehouse site is located at Miller Avenue and East Eighth Street, in downtown Mission. From 1945 to 1968, two warehouse buildings (one brick, the other metal) were used by Hayes-Sammons Chemical Company for the storage of commercial-grade pesticides on property leased by Union Pacific Railroad. The buildings had wood floors, which allowed the release of contaminants into the soil. The site has been cleaned up, but has yet to be sold. |
