A. As soon as you notice a leak or spill, you are responsible for contacting the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). You must report leaks to your DEQ regional office, and DEQ will evaluate the risk level of the oil tank leak or if you need to stop the release and perform the cleanup. Sometimes, a leaking tank must be removed to prevent further contamination. You can then schedule an oil tank replacement or new oil tank installation.

A. If you have an aboveground oil tank, it’s easy to see if it is corroded or leaking. It could be a sign of corrosion and damage if you see rust, wet spots, or dents. With an underground oil tank, it’s a little trickier. Underground oil tanks are usually made of steel, which can weaken and corrode over time due to moisture in the soil and contaminants. Shifting soil, erosion, heavy traffic, and earthquakes can increase the risk of damage or a leak. Try digging in the ground around your oil tank and see if there are signs of corrosion or a strong oil smell.

A. Installing an aboveground or underground oil tank or fuel tank does pose risks to the environment and your health and safety should a leak or contamination occur. Leaks can allow vapors inside your home, which can be dangerous if inhaled. A leaking heating oil tank or fuel tank can also contaminate drinking water or local ponds, lakes, and rivers. Leaks also damage the soil and environment. Finally, oil contamination can affect the water and vegetation animals eat and have a significant environmental impact.
