He checked the records and this tank has been registered since 1996 with the program and given that recommended not moving forward with the soil samples. For tanks not registered the testing is $250 per sample, they do 3 and stop at 1 or 2 if they find oil. Does that smell okay?
What if 60k isn't enough? That's a 'feel good' program so people still buy houses with underground tanks, probably in place because of lobbying from the heating oil companies........
