The owners of a property with a leaking tank are typically responsible for necessary environmental cleanup. Buyers of
properties with buried oil tanks should have the tanks properly inspected prior to purchase to insure they are not “buying” into a
problem. In addition, while the tank may not be leaking, oil may have spilled when the tank was filled over the years and the
soil around the tank could be contaminated.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality recognizes that leaking fuel tanks can cause significant damage to property
and the environment. They have established the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund to provide financial assistance for
environmental cleanup. This fund will reduce owners’ out of pocket expenses for correcting the problem.
Be aware that if the tank has leaked, owners must report the leak to the VDEQ. The second regulation is the State Building/Fire
Code, which states that an underground oil tank that has been out of use for more than one year shall be removed or abandoned
according to certain specifications. Typically a County permit and inspection by the local fire marshal is required.
