§ 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.
