BURIED OIL TANKS
|
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
It was a standard procedure locally during the 1960s, 70s and 80s
to bury home heating oil tanks. Eventually steel tanks rust
through and leak. Oil spills are unacceptable and expensive to
clean up.
|
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Try to find out if you are buying an oil spill with the house. If
a tank is present consider testing it for leaks. It would be wise to
remove or close the tank. check with state agencies and get a list
of tank inspection/closure companies. Remember sooner or later the
tank will leak. |
