Thanks for being honest with us. We are all there. We get it.

And btw, this made me chuckle. I love how you make fun of yourself.

Mandy, please read this comment. My husband’s company deals on a daily basis with environmental issues like yours. Contact your state EPA. There should be funds available to remove a tank if it is still there. The person who put it in ( and their insurance company) is responsible for the tanks. A title search should tell you who that is.

I met you at Haven a few years ago. If you have any questions, my husband can probably answer them. Send us an email at my blog address.

Trust God. We are also about to jump off a cliff with no idea of what’s below us and ALL the contingency money gone. This is the mantra I keep repeating to myself, trust God. And keep a paper bag handy for hyperventilating, vomiting, etc.

It might be worth contacting the State of Utah Brownfields Program and see if they can help in any way. Brownfields is a program specifically established to help clean up properties with environmental issues get cleaned up and back into use.

You know that hazardous waste cleanup is what Larry has been doing the last 25 years? It will work out.

Mandi,
I pray a supernatural miracle that it will all come through without any problems.

Keep the faith (isn’t that what faith is, believing what you can’t see; heck everything we do, we do in faith!)

I don’t see this as embarrassing! You can’t EVER know everything, especially when it comes to real estate. I feel your stress though – hang in there. You have the strength and the guts and Court to get pass this. 😉 Thanks for sharing this journey with us.

Don’t worry everything always has a way of working out after all you’re not just sitting around waiting for things to happen. God is there watching over you and your family.

In reply to Melissa. It might depend on something as simple as where on the page you have rested your cursor. Also, there may be an X or "close" somewhere in the field (or outside of it; they're sneaky) that you aren't seeing and need to click. Finally, if this is an ad, you could look into ad-blocking software (eg AdBlock, which is free to download) but the field itself may still intrude. Those are my best guesses.

Yes, I have researched my fingers to the bone on this. My dad had a gas station that was built in 1940 and the city wanted him to get everything checked. He missed out on the “grants” for small business owners, so it was out of pocket for my parents. We started process and found the old 1940 tank was fine, but the newer tank from the 60’s had leaked – both pulled out and taken away. Luckily, it wasn’t that bad of a leak and the out of pocket for my parents was about 20k… When my parents passed, the lawyer assured my sister and myself, that my parents had done everything to the letter and nobody could come back on us for more money. Good luck….prayers all is just fine.
