MA Tank Removal Regulations

Navigating Massachusetts Removal Rules

Removing an oil tank in Massachusetts involves specific steps mandated by state and local authorities. Permits are typically required from the local fire department, and inspections may be necessary before and after removal. For underground tanks, soil assessment might be required upon removal to check for contamination. If contamination is found, Massachusetts has procedures for reporting and remediation (MassDEP MCP).

Choosing a company familiar with these regulations is important. Dempsey Energy handles the permit application process and coordinates required inspections. Our NATE-certified technicians follow established protocols for safely emptying, removing, and managing the disposal of the tank, documenting the process appropriately.
