Baltimore Oil Tank Spill - Advice??

[Hugh Rosen]

Considering a multi-unit (3 1BR’s) “as-is” in Baltimore City. Inspection was yesterday. Oil tank is in basement and I noticed a small leak consisting of water and oil mixed (there was a blue sheen to the water) on the floor next to the tank and old oil boiler. Pool was roughly 3ft around. Basement floor is concrete.

Question—will this need to be remediate according to MDE guidelines or can I just clean it myself and dispose of rags and oil environmentally?

Should I avoid this purchase due to potential costs of remediation??

Any thoughts welcomed!

Thanks,

Hugh
