Holy Cow!

First of all before you get too carried away let's define quantity and area covered here.

If you're like us, you have a couple of tractors a truck or 2 and a family car. All together about 5 galons of oil. And you wouldn't likely change the oil much more than twice a year in the tractors and maybe 3 time a year in the car and trucks so all together you have maybe 10 to 15 gallons a year.

Now how much area was this 15 gallons of oil spread over? Did you just do it around the house and barn or did you do the whole lane back to your fields? Was it sprayed on in a fine mist or just poured out of a bucket?

My guess would be that unless they sample the driveway itself they will never find anything.

Think of it this way. If their samples were that precise they would be more likely to find the spot where you blew a hydraulic hose or some other field break down than your dust contol.

Just my opinion though
