Petroleum Environmental Cleanup Fund Award (PECFA)

The PECFA program was created in response to enactment of federal regulations requiring release prevention from underground storage tanks and cleanup of existing contamination from those tanks. PECFA is a reimbursement program returning a portion of incurred remedial cleanup costs to owners of eligible petroleum product systems including home heating oil systems. Program funding is generated from a portion of a $0.02/gallon petroleum inspection fee.
