Former Fuel Facility Multi-Tank UST Removal
Ironton, Ohio | Underground Storage Tank Removal | BUSTR Compliance | Fuel System Decommissioning
Environmental Remediation Contractor (ERC) removed four underground storage tanks from a former fuel facility in Ironton, Ohio.
The site sat in an active, high-traffic area close to neighboring businesses and pedestrians, so safety controls had to be tight from start to finish.
ERC removed all four tanks and their fuel systems under BUSTR rules, backfilled and graded the tank field, and left the site stable and ready for future use.

How Do You Remove USTs in a High-Traffic Area?
Carefully. ERC set up safety controls before digging began to protect workers, neighbors, and pedestrians, and used controlled excavation methods throughout.
What Tanks Were Removed?
Four tanks in all: one 4,000-gallon kerosene tank, two 6,000-gallon gasoline tanks, and one 10,000-gallon gasoline tank. Their piping, dispensers, vent lines, and electrical components came out too.
What Happens to the Tanks After Removal?
Each tank was cleaned, removed, staged, and hauled for disposal in line with BUSTR regulations and approved waste profiles.
How Was the Site Restored?
Excavated materials were managed properly, and the tank field was backfilled with approved material, topped with aggregate, and graded to project specifications.
Why Was This Project Complex?
ERC had to manage several conditions at once:
- Four tanks of different sizes and fuel types
- Active, high-traffic location
- Nearby businesses and pedestrians
- BUSTR removal and disposal requirements
- Close coordination with the client’s consultant
