Narrative:
The hold short line painted on the parallel taxiway on the east side of runway 15 at bur has been relocated and the old one painted over. The problem is that the old one is still visibility, especially at night when the taxiway is wet. And it's difficult to tell which is the correct line. The airport needs to sandblast the old painted line away rather than just paint over it. I'm talking about the line at the northeast corner of the airport at the approach end of 15 on the east taxiway.
