Section 23-1305. Procedure for abandoning storage reservoir

In   connection  with  the  abondonment  of  any  underground  storage
  reservoir for which a permit has been granted pursuant to  this  article
  or  in connection with the revocation of any such permit, the department
  shall require the premises to be placed in a  condition  which,  to  the
  extent  practicable,  shall  assure  the  continuance  of  the same in a
  condition which does not constitute a menace to the  present  or  future
  health or safety of persons, or safety or value of property. In case the
  operator  shall  fail  to  put  the premises in a satisfactory condition
  prior to any such  abondonment  or  immediately  upon  revocation  of  a
  permit,  the  department may do or cause to be done all things necessary
  to place the premises in satisfactory condition and the  operator  shall
  be liable for the cost.
