Older tank releases now qualify for reimbursement

Beginning July 1, 2025, older petroleum tank releases qualify for reimbursement. A release that was discovered and reported on or after January 1, 1984 now meets the date rule. Cleanup expenses incurred on or after January 1, 1984 can be reimbursed. Expenses before 1984 remain excluded. For heating-oil tanks and farm or residential tanks of 1,100 gallons or less, the separate May 15, 1991 cutoff still applies. You must still meet all other legal rules and fund limits.
