B. 1) The J, the former owner of the instant gas station site, operated the gas station in the instant gas station site with the trade name “K gas station”. On April 2012, the Plaintiff discovered soil contamination and reported it to Seongdong-gu Office while performing the construction of a ground-breaking construction on each of the instant land.
