What does it mean to decommission an oil tank?
Decommissioning a heating oil tank is not the same as emptying it. “‘Decommissioning’ is a generic term for removing a tank from service by cleaning it, then removing it or filling it in place with an inert material,” according to the DEQ. The homeowner or a contractor can decommission the device, but it must be approved by a licensed service provider. Then soil samples must be taken to ensure there there is no oil contamination.
