That even if you sell to somebody else, the way the environmental laws are written, ALL OWNERS, not just the current owner are responsible for the cleanup. Soil contaminated with oil, deisel, gasoline, etc, must be removed from the site and hauled to a toxic waste dump. Cost of cleanup figure $250,000 to a Million. Be very careful out there. Good Luck.

As a buyer of tax liens in NJ I avoid gas stations like the plague because of the potential for leaky underground tanks. The contamination clean-up costs can far outweigh the value of the property and even if you abandon it, the state will clean it up and slap you with a lien. Be careful!
