CHESAPEAKE - Residents of South Hill met face to face in a meeting Tuesday evening with the company responsible for a liquid fertilizer spill after a tank collapsed last week. 

Residents wanted guarantees that a chemical spill wouldn't happen again, but Allied Terminals officials didn't make any promises.

Some residents did not like what they heard from the officials, others left the meeting out of frustration.

2 million gallons of liquid fertilizer rushed out on the ground, some of it flowing into the nearby South Hill neighborhood, when the Allied Terminal storage tank collapsed.

From the moment it happened crews worked around the clock to vacuum up the ammonium nitrate and truck it out.

Despite assurances from the company that everything was safe, some residents left their homes during the cleanup.

The problem is that the company officials could not say for sure that a tank collapse couldn't happen again.

Some residents are still concerned that there might be side effects from the spill.

"How am I supposed to send my kids outside, they can't guarantee that they'll get it all up, they can't guarantee that it's not going to still be in the soil," said Roxanne Larson, a South Hill resident.
