PRLog -- A discovery of leaking oil tank can be devasting, if the remediation is completed improperly it could become a economic disaster. Heating oil located under a basement may be missed. If a potenital buyer completes soil borings and discovers heating oil contamination he may walk from the deal or try to make a lower offer. When a leaking heating oil tank is discovered a proper soil and ground water investigation should be completed. Some contractors will not complete a delineation or ground water investigation only to find out later the discharge has traveled under the structure. Remediation under a structure can be expensive. A leaking heating oil tank remediation should be completed right the first time. In some cases the contractor may be influenced by a third party such as tank plan or a insurance company that on wants to perform the minimum amount of remediation to satisfy the NJDEP. Residual soils left after remediation may travel and contaminate newly replaced soils or impact.
