Oil Tank Removal - Removal of Potential Liability!
A leaking oil tank is a potential environmental and financial liability. If you are selling or buying an older property Cedar Rock can assist you in determining whether or not an oil tank is present and if it has leaked.
A leaking above ground or underground heating oil tank is potentially a huge liability for the purchaser of a residential property and may cause owners significant difficulties in selling their properties as well as a significant loss of value. In most cases, if leakage has occurred removal of the oil tank and any contaminated soils must be performed in accordance with North Carolina legislation in order for a property to be sold. In certain situations, the State may permit the tank to be abandoned in-place but environmental assessment is still required in these cases.
The cost of underground oil tank removal or abandonment, clean-up and the required environmental assessment of a contaminated site according to NC State guidelines is significant, not to mention the paperwork and reports that are required.
Fortunately, for many property owners, the State of North Carolina currently has a Trust Fund that can greatly assist by meeting much of the cost of the clean-up of contaminated soil following an underground oil tank removal as well as the environmental assessments.
