Introduction
Many New Jersey residents change their own motor oil in their cars, boats and lawnmowers. Although this oil should be collected and recycled, much of it is disposed of improperly, and eventually finds its way onto our land and into our lakes and streams. Used oil contains toxic substances, (halofgens, organics, PCBs) aand metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic), which are generated during engine use, and which are contained in oil additives designed to improve engine performance. These contaminants can harm fish and wildlife, and can easily enter the food chain.
Still, many New Jersey residents do not realize that disposing of used oil by pouring it down the drain or in the back yard, or even putting it out with the trash, or using it for dust suppression, is illegal, under the regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:26A-6, and can cause environmental damage. The only acceptable way to dispose of used motor oil is to bring it to a used oil collection site, where it will be transferred to a registered waste transporter, for transport to a recycling facility where it will either be reprocessed for use as boiler fuel or re-refined into "new" lubricating oil.

As you may have read in a recent thread, the UST Fund for leaking oil tanks is being underfunded for 2012 fiscal year. Although the budget hearings are over, I think there is still time before the budget is approved. Please email our NJ state representatives and senator your oil tank story if you are awaiting funding, or have yet to apply but have work ongoing/completed.
I think the state has put us in a terrible spot, promising funding, then yanking it with no notice. At a minimum, those of us who started remediation with the expectation of state assistance should voice our predicament. I know in my own personal case that the state funding is why I voluntarily pulled the oil tank this year.
Please write letters to Senator Richard J. Codey, Assemblywoman Mila Jasey, and Assemblyman John F. McKeon. Email would be best.

Assemblyman McKeon is the Chair of the Environmental Committee.

Aristide Economopoulos/The Star-LedgerMarty Lipp poses in front of the underground storage tank removed from his Maplewood property. Since a popular Department of Environmental Protection fund to help remediate the tanks dried up, Lipp and some 1,300 others across New Jersey will either have to pay for festering environmental problems all by themselves - or wait to start the work.

For Marty Lipp, the only thing deeper than the 8-foot hole contractors dug in his driveway to remove an old heating oil storage tank may soon be the one in his wallet for having to unexpectedly pick up the tab for the work.

Lipp, 53, of Maplewood, will now have to fork over up to $12,000 after a popular state fund created to help residents remove leaky underground tanks ran dry last week — just five years after its coffers bulged with $90 million.

Construction on Pike County Public Library's new $2 million headquarters in Milford will resume today, after it received state approvals Monday to remove an oil tank on the West Harford Street property, according to Board of Trustees President Rob Rohner.
"I'm really happy. This (approval) took just a couple of weeks, which is surprising," Rohner said. "We can resume construction right away."
