Morning everyone. Well its chucking down with rain in Cumbria this morning and I've got a chap coming round in half an hour to assess the level of contamination in the soil where my oil tank is. Last weekend I discovered that I had a big leak from our oil tank; lost around 500lts into the ground! Its soaked into around 5 cubic metres of soil, so after speaking to my insurance company and the Environment Agency yesterday, the whole lot has to be dug out and disposed of as hazardous waste. So I'm going to have a big hole but at least the garden wont smell like the oil sands of Alberta! So the insurance company will cover the costs of the oil spill and any decontamination, but not for a new oil tank or the concrete platform for it to sit on. So much for paying for a premium insurance policy. So a busy few days getting this sorted out now.
