Did You Know?
If you have an old oil tank, don’t wait till it’s too late! Under New York law, the person who owns the tank from which oil was released is considered to be the “discharger.” A discharger of petroleum is strictly liable for any resulting damage, even if it was caused by an event such as a natural disaster, for which they had no control (see Navigation Law § 181.1). If a discharger fails to clean up significant impacts to the environment, New York State through DEC may complete the cleanup and then bring an action against the discharger to recover these costs (see Navigation Law § 187).

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for soil and groundwater contamination caused by a leaking oil tank?
Under both state and federal law, you, the homeowner, are the responsible party. It does not matter whether the leakage occurred before or during your ownership and occupancy. You may be able to seek reimbursement for the costs of cleaning up soil or groundwater contamination from previous owners or your insurance company. If you sell your home with an underground storage tank in place, whether or not it has been decommissioned, the discovery of contamination in the future may result in an environmental contamination claim being made against you.
What am I required to do about the unused heating oil tank in my backyard?
The DEC presently requires the decommissioning of any abandoned underground storage tank (UST) that is unused for one year or more. As the homeowner, you may be liable for any damage caused by a leaking underground oil tank. Numerous issues can arise if a UST is left to rust. The DEC recommends decommissioning any unused UST to eliminate any possibility of future leakage. Keeping with our standards of quality and service, Budget Tank Removal Services maintains up-to-date information regarding UST and cleanup regulations.
