FUEL SPILLS

The cost of cleaning up a diesel fuel spill on a property can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the size of the spill, the type of soil or surface affected, and local environmental regulations. Here's a breakdown of typical costs:

1. Small spills (up to 50 gallons):
   A small spill, such as from a vehicle accident or a minor leak, typically costs between $3,000 and $15,000. This covers containment, soil testing, excavation, and disposal of contaminated soil, as well as site restoration.
2. Medium spills (50-500 gallons):
   For larger spills, the costs can rise to $15,000 to $50,000, depending on the complexity of the cleanup and how deeply the fuel has seeped into the ground. Additional costs may be incurred for testing, environmental assessments, and more extensive soil removal.
3. Large spills (over 500 gallons):
   When a large spill occurs, such as from an underground storage tank or a major accident, costs can range from $50,000 to over $100,000. This includes extensive soil remediation, groundwater treatment, regulatory oversight, and possible long-term monitoring to ensure that the environment is fully restored.

Factors Impacting Cost:

• Extent of contamination: How far the diesel fuel has spread into soil or groundwater.
• Location: Cleanups in urban or sensitive environmental areas are typically more expensive due to stringent regulations.
• Regulatory compliance: Cleanup must meet federal, state, and local environmental standards, which can add to the cost.
• Emergency response: Quick response can limit damage and costs, but emergency services often have a higher price tag.

Having a certified environmental remediation team handle the cleanup is essential to ensure compliance and limit long-term environmental damage and liability.
