� Fire Permit <br /> EVERETT EVERETT Decommissioning Residential Heating Oil Tanks <br /> WASHINGTON INFORMATION HANDOUT P-3 1.6.2023 <br /> Scope and Purpose <br /> The information found in this document is intended to outline the process for decommissioning <br /> residential heating oil tanks and its associated piping that contains, or previously contained, heating oil <br /> for the primary purpose of heating one or two-family residential structures. Underground tanks that <br /> have been out of service for a period of one year shall be removed from ground or abandoned in place. <br /> These provisions do not address requirements for aboveground heating oil tanks or tanks other than <br /> residential heating oil tanks. <br /> Permits <br /> A site-specific permit from the Everett Fire Department is required to remove or abandon in place an <br /> underground residential heating oil tank. Decommissioning work may not begin until a permit has been <br /> issued. <br /> Permit applications shall be submitted using https://onlinepermits.everettwa.Rov/etrakit/default.aspx . <br /> Permits will be issued electronically after submittal, review, and payment. <br /> Permits may cover multiple tanks located at a single inspection area. If additional tanks are to be <br /> removed at later dates separate permits need to be obtained. <br /> Decommissioning must be conducted by, or overseen by, an individual certified by the International <br /> Code Council (ICC) as an Underground Storage Tank Decommissioner. All contractors and companies <br /> must comply with International Fire Code, including all other local, state, and federal requirements. <br /> A Tank Decommissioning Report shall be completed, signed and submitted to the Everett Fire <br /> Department by the ICC certified decommissioner performing, or overseeing,the work along with the <br /> property owner within 30 days of completion. <br /> Soil Samples <br /> Compliance with the IFC does not require that any soil samples be taken. However, the property owner <br /> or operator may have other obligations including but not limited to, spill or leak reporting requirements <br /> and clean up requirements under environmental or other laws apart from the IFC.
