He's probably a good guy to talk to about the law and liability on UST removal (or defend you
).
Here in NJ, home, underground tanks are a real PITA for owners. Commercial or residential. My family sold some property to a Government body and had to remove the hho tank, with a Health Dept. rep on site. This tank never leaked, but after 30 years enough spillage had seeped into the ground, we really had to dig a big hole to remove all the bad dirt. And the Removal guy told me that one or two more scoops of the front end loader would have reached the water table. Then I would have had real problems. Monitoring wells, etc, etc, As it was, I obtained an NFA letter from DEP "No further action" I guard it like gold. Liability runs with all previous ownership in this state, so I look on it as a get out of jail free card.
Are there any state or gas company credit ($$) incentive programs to convert to NG? Even if you had to get a new boiler, the payback period would probably be short.
Good luck man, and close the door!
