Any person, firm or corporation, including gasoline filling stations, using, maintaining or operating underground liquid storage tanks containing materials defined in section 4-4-1 of this chapter shall be responsible for removing both the underground liquid storage tank and the piping running from said tank from its site, once the site has been abandoned. A site shall be considered to be abandoned when the liquid storage tank has been either unused for one year or unconnected to dispensing equipment for one year.
Filling the underground liquid storage tank with aggregate fill or other types of fill and leaving the tank in the ground at the site in question are not acceptable. (Ord., 8-19-1985)
