What approvals are needed to remove or discontinue use of an Underground Storage Tank?
A business which wants to discontinue or change the use of an underground storage tank which has contained a hazardous substance must contact Environmental Health for a closure permit. A person with a private residence or farm where an underground storage tank is to be closed may need a closure permit from Environmental Health. Contact Environmental Health to find out if a closure permit is required. Soil and groundwater contamination from an underground storage tank system must be reported to Environmental Health. In addition, the closure contractor needs to be properly licensed, and the underground storage tank and any sludges, rinsates, or residual liquids must be properly handled as hazardous waste.
