Heating Oil Tank - A Potential Environmental Liability!

A leaking oil tank is a potential environmental 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. 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.
The cost of underground oil tank removal and clean-up 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 a leaking underground oil tank removal.
