Buried residential fuel tanks (nonregulated UST’s, or underground storage tanks) are very common in the Wilmington area, said Gene Jackson, a regional supervisor with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
“Staff of the UST Section get involved with these type of tanks only when a release of petroleum is reported,” he said. “As for the impact on a home’s value I would have no way of knowing.”
