The Phoenix Redevelopment Oil Tank Policy
Because many homes in the Northwest are or were heated with fuel oil, we have developed a strict policy
to inspect every home we sell for underground oil tanks. To achieve our objectives under this policy,
we have contracted with Cascade Environmental Services,
a leader in oil tank testing, clean-up, and compliance.
-
Testing: When we purchase a home, we contract with Cascade Environmental Services to
perform a review of the property to locate any underground heating oil tanks on the property and sample
the soil surrounding any tanks we find. If soil samples indicate that a tank is leaking, Cascade
decommissions the tank in compliance with Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) guidelines.
If soil sampling reveals no evidence of a leak, we may keep the tank in use or decommission it per
DEQ guidelines.
-
Documentation: We maintain a complete file of the results of work performed by Cascade Environmental
for every Phoenix™ home. We are happy to provide a copy of this file to our purchaser for review prior
to the closing of any purchase transaction.
