UST is uncovered, rendered free of ignitable vapors
Cut open and cleaned of all product and product residue
The tank is then entered by a technician who visually inspects the tank for breaches.
Once properly cleaned the tank is lifted from the ground
The tank and excavation are inspected
If no issues are found, the hole is backfilled with clean dirt, tamped down and neatly graded

If any contaminated soil is detected or breaches in the tank are observed, the site will need to be remediated.
