A Guide to Home Heating Oil Tanks

Clean-up and Next Steps

Clean-up consists of the removal and disposal of contaminated soil and possible replacement

of your home-heating oil tank.

The clean-up must be done with instruction from the Government of Yukon’s Environmental

Programs Branch, and in most cases, is carried out by a contractor trained and licensed to

handle environmental waste. It may be necessary to have an engineering ﬁrm assess the

extent of the spill and provide instruction on the clean-up required.

After the clean-up is completed, installation of a new storage system and/or piping should be

done by a certiﬁed oil burner mechanic.

For every installation, a building permit is required. Once completed, this work needs to be

inspected by a City of Whitehorse or Government of Yukon inspector to ensure it complies

with all codes and standards.

The Final Word!

If in doubt, call a professional!
