Oil Tank Leaking PPM

[Sara Blouin]

Hello all,

I have a leaking UST on property I am under contract with. The soil borings came back as 20,000 ppm. Remediation starts at 5,100 ppm according to EPA from what the company states and what i have read. Does anyone have any experience with analyzing how bad 20,000 ppm is on the spectrum? What is the worst you have all seen? What were your costs to remediate? Please share your experiences!!

Thanks for your input!

This can be very serious. I would not do it unless the seller takes care of the problem. Another option would be to get an estimate and deduct the cost. The fact that it is known means it needs to be professionally remediate or it will come back on you.
