New Jersey requires homeowners to take prompt action to minimize the risk of heating oil or other hazardous substances coming into contact with soil or groundwater in the event of a storage tank discharge.  Whether located underground, above ground, or in a basement, tanks containing heating oil can rust and leak over time. Oil tanks must be removed for safety reasons.

When purchasing property, you may be required to remove old or abandoned oil storage tanks that have been left behind. We are here to help you figure out how to proceed.

We will initially visit your site for an interior/exterior inspection utilizing a Schonstedt inductive/conductive locator and tile probe. After the visit and inspection, our technician will develop a letter of findings and recommendations.

Venture Tank Co. will guide you step-by-step through the entire process of removing a storage tank, whether or not it is leaking. Together we will weigh all of the financial options in an effort to avoid as much stress as possible.

After we obtain your signed agreement, the project proceeds as follows:

1. Apply for and obtain local permits.
2. Call and obtain utility mark out.
3. Schedule project with the homeowner.
4. Pump out contents of tank; unearth and cut access into tank.
5. Clean sludge and residuals in tank (must have OSHA confined spaces training).
6. Remove tank from the ground.
7. Obtain township inspection.
8. Complete soil sample.
9. Backfill the excavation up to grade, tamp and rake out.
10. Dispose of the tank at a recycling facility and contents at a state-licensed recycle facility.

If the soil sample results are determined to be below the NJDEP action level, we will submit a tank certification letter for your records. This letter will be an important tool if you ever decide to sell your home.

Please note:

• If your tank has leaked, we remove it, tag it and store it on our facility until your insurance adjuster inspects it. This saves you both the time and the need of having the unsightly tank remaining on your property.

Once a leak has been detected, we must notify the NJDEP by calling their 24-hour hotline at (609) 292-7172 and a NJDEP case # will be assigned.

The NJDEP website has more information regarding the NJ oil tank removal regulations.

Your fuel oil tank removal and cleanup costs may be reimbursed through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority Petroleum Underground Storage Fund.
