They have to sample the dirt around the tanks to see if there was a leak?

This. Because pulling those tanks is a process. EPA/DEQ get involved.
My company does this. They're only involved to the extent of providing a license to a certified person to close or remove tanks. Samples get taken from the floor and walls of the excavation to check for BTEX or PAH, but they're pretty much out of it otherwise. It's a fairly hands-off process.

Yep. They're probably going to have dewater that hole anyhow, so putting a stripping tower on site isn't that big of a deal...aside from cost. Then a frac tank to hold the stripped water until tests clear.

But like another poster said, it's a fairly common practice.

Sherwood and Coursey intersection looks to be deteriorating at a rapid pace. Stumberg looks rough too these days.
