Just bought home with inground tank and was wondering what needed to be done to remove it. It is located rather close to my well and I am concerned about that.
In Pennsylvania, there are specific regulations about the removal of tanks that are underground and the soil needs to be tested and some people have to pay a fee for the removal. If yours is above ground, you may need a plumber or other specialist to make sure all the lines are tied off correctly.
Hi! I found a site that did not seem too specific to one state. I think it is general information about the way it is handled. It might prove to be very informative:
In Illinois, residents are required to contact their electric company prior to digging in their backyard In case there are underground cables or wires that could cause injury or loss of power. Check your State's requirements. Once that us done, you can contact one of several professional tank removal companies -- they can be found online. Search Google using the key words: backyard tank removal.

Unless it is leaking oil and you are required to remove it, I'd leave it. How do you plan on filling in the hole left by the tank??
Just worried about it being located so close to well. Want to avoid future problems.
