[Adopted 6-25-2008 by Ord. No. 486]
The removal of a home heating oil tank is an event which requires
the issuance of a Borough permit if that work is done by someone other
than the owner of the property. This is an existing requirement in
the Borough.
Hereafter, it will be the obligation of the person or business
permanently removing a home heating oil tank to also remove the filler
pipe or to permanently cap that filler pipe on the outside of the
foundation wall. The term "permanently capped" means to take all necessary
action to make it impossible for the nozzle of a home heating oil
delivery truck hose to enter into the filler pipe.
At the time that a permit application is filed for the purpose
of removing the home heating oil tank, the person or business issued
such a permit will be notified of the requirement to remove or permanently
cap the filler pipe at the time of the removal of the oil tank.
Any failure to comply with this article by a person or business
issued a permit to remove a home heating oil tank shall result in
the imposition of a fine of not more than $1,000 plus the costs of
prosecution.
