Underground Oil Tank (UST) Decommissioned with kitty litter?

[Tyler Mullen]

Has anyone ever done a deal which included a proper and complete residential fuel oil tank decommissioning having been performed by the seller personally (not a hired contractor), using cat litter, then never having the decommissioning certified/filed/inspected with the proper local authorities?  I checked with the correct authority, they have no record of a tank or a decommissioning.

If the seller told you that's how "it was decommissioned"... and the garage smelled like fuel oil, how would you respond?

Thank you all for your time!
