Do tanks that were properly closed prior to 1974 have to be registered by DEQ and taken through the current closure process?
Underground Storage Tanks properly closed, either by removal or closed in-place by filling with a solid-inert material prior to 1974, are not required to be registered by the Department. If there is evidence of contamination, then samples should be collected. If contamination is discovered, it would be considered a solid waste site and further evaluation and/or remediation may be required.
