# Underground storage tanks in New Canaan, Connecticut — 41 facilities

> Every facility on Connecticut's underground storage tank register in New Canaan: 41 sites, 205 tanks, 33 still in use. Six DEEP files joined on the facility identifier.

## Storage tanks in New Canaan

The Department has **41** facilities on the tank register at a New Canaan address — 0.3% of the state total — carrying 205 tanks, of which **33** are still in use.

### What is stored, and where it sits

An address on this register is a place with a regulated tank, not
necessarily a filling station. In New Canaan the split is:

| Substance recorded | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| [Diesel](/substance/diesel.md) | 15 | 36.6% |
| [Heating Oil(on-site Consumption)](/substance/heating-oil-on-site-consumption.md) | 13 | 31.7% |
| [Gasoline](/substance/gasoline.md) | 12 | 29.3% |
| [Not stated](/substance/not-stated.md) | 1 | 2.4% |

13 of them are
heating-oil tanks kept for the building above — schools, churches,
apartment blocks. They are on the register for the same reason a filling
station is, and they surprise people.

### Bare steel in New Canaan

**23** of the 41 facilities in New Canaan have at
least one tank recorded as bare or asphalt-coated steel —
56.1%. That is the construction the federal upgrade rules were
written to replace: unprotected steel in wet ground corrodes, and corrosion is
how a tank starts leaking.

A bare-steel tank on the record is not a leak and not a
breach — many are long closed, and the file records the construction,
not the condition. It is simply the one physical fact in these files that
bears on risk. [Why this is the number worth knowing](/steel.md).

### What the Department’s other files record in New Canaan

| Record | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| At least one recorded violation | 11 | 26.8% |
| At least one red-tag entry | 1 | 2.4% |
| At least one enforcement action | 11 | 26.8% |
| At least one reported release | 10 | 24.4% |

These are counts of *records*, not judgements. A
violation entry is one finding at one inspection; a red tag stops deliveries
until a problem is fixed and says nothing about today; a release is a report,
with no measurement of what was spilled or how far it went. Which facility
carries which is on its own record, one search away.
