You may ask, what is a heating oil tank and where would it be? I don't see it? Why is that a problem?
Underground Heating Oil Tanks (USTs) are buried tanks containing #2 diesel heating oil that is used to heat some homes. Prior to the common use of natural-gas, it was common-place for properties to contain buried oil tanks so that each property could stock-pile fuel used for heating. While it is common to find older homes/buildings with heating oil tanks, it is also possible that newer homes located in remote areas may also have heating oil tanks.
Prior to purchasing any property, it is always recommended that a “tank search/sweep” be conducted to search for the possibility of any underground heating oil tanks (USTs) that may be located on the property. This issue (if present) would lie on the current property owner (seller). However, after the purchase of the property, you own this issue. For this reason, it is highly recommended that a tank sweep be conducted during the due diligence period of every home/building purchase.
The presence of an oil tank can prove timely and costly. Many of these tanks have been buried for decades; being exposed to a number of risks that may lead the tank to deteriorate.
Over time, tanks corrode and rust; forming holes along their body that allow oil to leak into the surrounding soil. In some cases, the leak could be substantial enough that it may affect neighboring properties and/or the groundwater. If this were to happen, the property owner (also known as the Responsible Party) would be on the hook for all cleanup (remediation) activities required by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).
