More help for oil tank owners
Beginning June 30, 2025, owners of facilities using oil on-site qualify for higher reimbursements after showing financial need. The cap for costs to meet local and department operating standards rises from $3,300 to $4,000. The cap for underground tank abandonment or removal rises from $2,500 to $4,500. Payments come from the Oil Discharge and Disposal Cleanup Fund and cover only eligible costs. The fund's annual status report is due March 1 instead of October 1, to the governor and council, legislative leaders, and legislative environment committees.
Oil importers pay fees, then lower rates
Beginning January 1, 2026, New Hampshire oil importers pay monthly license fees based on gallons imported and oil type. Rates per gallon are $0.01546 for on-road and off-road gasoline and diesel fuel; $0.02715 for heating fuel oil, diesel products, and used oil; $0.01478 for motor oil; and $0.00215 for all other oil. Each fiscal year, the first $125,000 goes to the general fund. The rest is split between the Oil Pollution Control Fund and Oil Discharge and Disposal Cleanup Fund. Beginning July 1, 2035, all categories pay $0.00215 per gallon, lowering rates for the first three categories. Monthly payments and the $125,000 general-fund share continue, but all remaining money goes to the Oil Pollution Control Fund. Both schedules exclude oil passing through New Hampshire by pipeline, railroad, or highway between other states or for international transport.
