Oil tank is properly decommissioned.

Normally they just give a certified decommission by filling them with concrete or sand and leave them buried.

Locally, decommissioning is as easy as push it in/ fill it with dirt and plant grass on it.

In this park, there is nowhere else, minus decommissioning 4-6 occupied mobile home lots.

usually they will guide you.if you have a contract signed and are in attorney review, you should have all the contingencies outlined. you should do an oil tank sweep. that costs under $300. if there is an underground oil tank that was not properly decommissioned with permits, RUN AWAY!! 

If you could “decommission” the basement unit, prior to appraisal, you’d be okay.

There was an instance before of one investor I knew who bought a house at auction.When the city annexed the area years ago houses had the option of connected to the street sewer and the city did it but it costs many thousands of dollars.This particular property owner connected to the street themselves without telling the city.So the new owner buys it and city wants to impose unknown usage charges and fines for years of illegal hook up.The property was having bathtub and drain issues and at first the new buyer couldn't figure out what was going on.The previous owner didn't also decommission the old sewage tank properly.The city worked with them to refix the line but they still had to pay reduced fines etc.

Now that many homes here are heated by gas, there is a concern that the previous owner failed to remove or decommission (fill with sand) the ust (underground oil tank) leaving a leaking UST that is contaminating the soil.

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? 

Dear BP community,I am wondering is there is any legality to "Decommissioning" a unit?
