Oil Leaks
Oil
storage tanks occasionally leak, and the risk of leakage increases as the oil tank
ages. If the oil storage tank is underground, a small oil leak may go undetected
for a long period of time.
When an oil leak occurs, it often contaminates the surrounding soil. In an
area such as Long Island, this contamination eventually gets into the underground
aquifer that is the sole source of Long Island’s drinking water. Therefore,
oil spills in areas such as Long Island are considered very serious. In other
areas, oil spills are also serious, but may not contaminate the ground water to
as great an extent. Oil spill cleanup steps are mandated by regulatory agencies
and can be very expensive.
If the house or building that you are considering purchasing has an older buried
oil storage tank, that tank should be tested for leakage. You should arrange
with an appropriate oil tank testing specialist for this test. Some people
are concerned that testing may cause the oil tank to start leaking. In fact,
proper testing does not cause tanks to start leaking. The test only reveals
the fact that the tank (or its feeder line) has already been leaking.
For
more information, visit the
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) underground oil storage tank web site
.
You can find out information about oil leaks at
the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Oil spill web site
.
Note that there are state and other municipal regulations that affect underground
oil storage tanks. You should check with your local government offices for
more information.
