An early site proposal for South Park Middle School was rejected in 1969 by the city due to the high methane levels found there, forcing the school district to move its search farther east. The public works director at that time said it would take another 20 years to mitigate the methane to a safe level at that site. A decade later — March 19, 1979 — an explosion and fire that heavily damaged one of three new apartment buildings in the 1500 block of Knapp was blamed on methane buildup.
