Leaking Storage Tank - Latest Comments

Re: Deadline looms for Florida gas station owners with old underground storage tanks

If I buy a home in nw florida that had a mom and pop gas station on the property, but is closed down, am I responsible to have the gasoline tanks removed? The owner has produced some documents that she says cost $3,000.00 with EPA that has something to do with the tanks being inspected every year, however, I am afraid if I buy the property and then the tanks are inspected and fail, I will be stuck with bill. Any imput will be greatly appreciated.

Ironshore is new company that is made up of AIG's old senior management. They have a really good environmental group, not sure if they would do this or not but they are the best...I used them for a gas station recently but tanks were double-walled.

Thank you for your comments. The owner and operator of the underground
storage tank is responsible for its repair or replacement. The owner
also is supposed to report any problems with leaks to their local
environmental protection agency. You can visit the EPA's web site at
www.epa.gov to find the contact person for your area. Owners of leaking
underground storage tanks can face fines for not fixing the problem.
Contact your local EPA office to find out what the rules are for your
state and area.
