Dear Mr. Slifka:
Thank you for attending the Board of Health meeting held on
August 5, 1993.
Your request to fill your underground fuel storage tank with
concrete or dirt fill cannot be granted by this Board.
You should first contact the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons
Mills Fire Department and request a determination in writing of
whether you can permanently abandon your tank underground.
If such approval is granted, you shall then conduct a soil vapor
analysis test to ensure there is no contamination in the ground.
Please telephone Charlotte Steifel at the Barnstable County
Health Department ('362-2511 ext. 334) to request such a test.
Sincerely yours,
. b"-'- " .

RE: Fuel Tank Removal Problems
Dear. Mr. . Slifka:
,,_ At your request, I have made an inspection of the premises at
159 Main 5t. , Osterville, relative to the problems involved in
removing a 1000 g g gallon underground fuel oil tank.
The tank is located directly under a large, mature dogwood tree
and with the long length of the tank very close to the full
height basement masonry foundation wall.
I would strongly recommend that you not attempt to remove. this
tank, considering the forces generated by the heavy equipment
necessary to remove the tree stump, excavate and- remove the
tank.
The block and concrete carrying wall is not constructed to with-
stand these forces and may well collapse inward during t4:e re-
moval operation. The wall is designed to support vertically
loaded forces, but any horizontally induced loads, either impact,
static or hydraulic in nature could result in serious wall failure.
I would suggest you seek permission to hand excavate to a top
portion of the tank and cut a section of the tank top off to
allow cleaning of tank, and then fill the tank with concrete or
dirt fill. This w, rk should be performed by licensed contractors
in this field to avoid accidents and to satisfy local fire, health
and end ronmental agencies.
I trust this provides you with the information and advice requested.
