>>>Failure to disclose conditions at the time of real estate sale can lead to serious legal trouble.<<<

True enough. True enough. One could get into significant legal problems later.

Your story of the tank and the wells is quite legit but far from the case in the burbs where I used to live and the river water supply was about ten miles away from the 30 gallon tank in question. A more reasonable approach would have been to establish a hearing and exemption procedure/court. I can't help but feel that any group of local residents, realtors, or environmental "consultants" would have granted a waiver in my case in five minutes.

Still, the Envro-Nazis are over the top and off the scale. We are simply not talking sensible marginal environmental utility here. WRT to residential, underground tanks, wasn't it during the Clinton administration when all over the overzealous environmentalism took root that we first heard of "don't ask, don't tell."

The senselessness and waste in selling my parents' house was appalling. I can understand how you feel having done everything by the book.
