Yes the situation is absurd. The big expense is the dirt cleanup. In our area, the dirt has to be decontaminated or specially dumped or something. The whole process can be $100,000 . When we bought our house we split the cost of removing a perfectly good underground oil tank and replacing it with a smaller one inside the basement. We were not legally allowed to have over 660 gallons in the basement; the old one outside was 1000 gallons. But otherwise we would be scared to death of the environmental cleanup bill if we ever did leak. |

"Don't do like I do, do like I say." The masters can violate their own laws, but not you and I. It's time we take back our powers. We have the power within to make the world the way WE want it. For whatever reason, we've lost the knowledge of how to utilize that power. I sense it is being RE-Activated. |

Here is the protocol for handling a leaking home heating oil tank set forth by the EPA. Quoting: CaptainZeroLet me read you your rights: "tax-wanker, you will now be tased.
