Questions: Through the DEP’s website the homeowner can find a list of frequently asked questions regarding removal of UST and proper abandonment. Additionally, homeowners should always contact their Town to determine the local regulations or ordinances.
Removal: Removal of a UST must be done by a licensed contractor. A homeowner can check the status of a contractor's registration with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) prior to entering into a contract for a tank removal through the DCP's web site at: www.ct.gov/dcp
Moreover, the contractor must follow specific requirements for removal. The specific requirements can be found at the Department of Consumer Protection
Oil Spill: In the event of a leak or spill the homeowner should contact the CT DEP at the emergency response and spill prevention
