RB - I would be moving, but the new owner wants us to stay - he wants the light industrial space on the property. The light industrial building here is constructed using bricks from the old Elgin National Watch Factory that the original owner demolished in 1965. Another neighbor said that equipment from the factory was by the pound. Filling the tank with sand sounds good. But no superbugs to clean this tank out? mao ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Mao, What was in the tank? Heating oil, septic? If it was heating oil, likely the EPA rules apply for decommission and removal. Which translates to . Septic, typical rule is crush the top, collapse the sides to a certain depth below grade and write it as done. Your local rules may be different.

Aside from the expensive excavation and verification of no leak, does anyone here have experience with alternative clean-up methonds? Perhaps a good environmental concoction of good bugs and a cleaning might be less damaging to the property? Thanks. mao ___ Are you moving?
