State Grants

Now is a great time to replace your old tank because NJ has expanded eligibility for the Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Fund. Ready to upgrade your old underground tank and apply for reimbursement from the state? Here are your options:

  1. Replace an underground tank with a fiberglass or new corrosion-protected, cathodically protected underground tank. With today's technology, a new tank can be isolated from the ground, making it worry free.
  2. Replace a buried tank with an aboveground tank. These tanks are normally smaller (275 or 330 gallons) and can be customized for hard-to-fit spaces. Aboveground tanks can be installed inside or outside the home. An outside tank can even be hidden in a tank enclosure.
