Bensalem School District plans to remove underground oil storage tanks
Based on EPA recommendations for old underground oil storage tank, the Bensalem School District has decided to remove its tanks and sell some of the oil.
Bensalem Patch reports the project could cost about $250,000 for the work of moving the underground tanks above ground. The district has 12 to 15 tanks, and the project could end up costing more if too much oil has seeped into the ground.
The EPA recommends removing underground tanks to avoid water contamination.
