Fuel Spill Response and Reporting
Fuel spills in New York must be reported to the State Department of Environmental Conservation within two hours of discovery unless they meet all of the following criteria:
- The quantity is known to be less than 5 gallons; and
- The spill is contained and under the control of the spiller; and
- The spill has not and will not reach the State's water or any land; and
- The spill is cleaned up within 2 hours of discovery.
A spill is considered to have not impacted land if it occurs on a paved surface such as asphalt or concrete. A spill in a dirt or gravel parking lot is considered to have impacted land and is reportable.
If your building’s fuel tank has experienced a release, contact East Coast Environmental immediately.
