ABANDONED OIL TANK SURVEY
"Oil Heats Best!" was the oil industry motto. Number 2 heating oil became wildly popular in the 1920's as a heating fuel choice over coal. Storage tanks were buried and, in some instances, more than one were present in the ground on properties to stock oil to avoid market fluctuation of heating oil cost.
Once natural gas became more prevalent, the need for more costly oil was reduced. Tanks were filled with soil and abandoned / left in the ground, sometimes still with residual oil. Over time, compounds in the residual oil would rust a tank from the interior. Add in acidic rain and these tanks started to pose an environmental crisis.
Today the Department of Environmental Protection want's oil tanks removed due to the environmental risk they pose. That's where we come in.
