Abandon Underground Storage Tanks

The "Abandon Tank Search" appliction (the last link on this page) reflects private residence, businesses and facilities that are recorded on the state tank database as having abandon underground storage tanks.  An "Abandon Tank" is an underground petroleum or chemical storage tank that has not been properly closed by either removal or closure-in-place.  Closure-in-place is only authorized in specific situations.  Some tanks may have been removed, but the responsible party failed to adequately notify the department of the closure.  More tank specific information may be obtained from the storage tank database. Tanks on the abandon tank list with a capacity of "1111" were registered, but the person registering the tank failed to enter the tank capacity.

How do you get your property off this list if the tank has been removed? 
Complete the shaded areas of the Tank Registration form for each tank and submit to the address on the form along with a letter explaining how the tank was removed.  Note: The majority of these tanks were initially registered during the period 1986 - 1988.  If, as the current owner of the property, you have no knowledge of an existing underground storage tank, you are still responsible for removing the tank should one still exist, and/or clearing up the descrepancy in the state database. If you have questions contact the permit staff person listed on the tank program state staff web page.
