What this means if you're buying or lending here
- "Closed" ≠ clean. A closed tank was taken out of service per the registry — many were closed without soil testing, especially before the late 1990s.
- The registry is incomplete by design. Tanks removed before 1986 and most residential heating-oil tanks were never registered. A county with 330 registered facilities has an unknown number of unregistered ones.
- Open cleanups are the headline. 7 cases in this county are still open; contamination may still be under investigation or remediation — distance from a specific parcel is what matters, and that's a per-address question.
Screen a specific property
This page covers the county. A purchase or loan decision needs the registry around one address: registered tanks at the parcel, every facility within 500 and 1,500 ft, leak cleanups with status and distance — each line cited to the official record.
Screen an address — $49 How it worksThis is a screen of EPA-registered tank and leak records, not an environmental site assessment. State registries are incomplete by design: tanks removed before 1986 and most residential heating-oil tanks were never registered, so a clean screen cannot prove the absence of a tank. "Closed" means a tank was taken out of service per the registry — it does not certify that no contamination remains.
