Why You Should Remove Your Dormant Oil Tanks in Corunna

In a riverside community like Corunna, a dormant oil tank is more than a nuisance; it is a "ticking time bomb." Proactive removal is essential for the following reasons:

  • Protecting the St. Clair River Watershed: Corunna is situated directly along the St. Clair River, a critical waterway and a source of drinking water for thousands. Because the local water table is often high and the soil can be porous, a fuel leak from a corroded tank can migrate rapidly. By removing your unused tank, you prevent petroleum hydrocarbons from reaching the river and local tributaries.
  • Insurance & Real Estate Compliance: The Insurance Bureau of Canada has become increasingly strict. Most insurance providers will no longer renew policies for homes with exterior tanks older than 15 years or interior steel tanks over 20 years. Furthermore, selling a property in the Sarnia-Lambton area with an abandoned tank is nearly impossible, as lenders now require a TSSA-certified removal to clear the title.
  • Agricultural & Soil Integrity: For properties on the outskirts of Corunna with agricultural acreage, soil health is paramount. A leaking buried tank can contaminate large areas of productive land, leading to remediation costs that often exceed $100,000.
  • TSSA Compliance & the "3-Year Rule": Under the newest TSSA Fuel Oil Code Adoption Document (CAD), any fuel tank that has been inactive for three years or longer is officially classified as a high-risk non-compliance. These systems are legally required to be professionally removed to avoid provincial enforcement orders and environmental fines.
