Jersey City, New Jersey, has a high number of heating oil tanks due to its historical reliance on oil for residential and industrial heating, coupled with its dense urban and industrial development. In the early to mid-20th century, before natural gas pipelines became widely available, oil-fired heating systems were the standard in the Northeast, leading to the installation of underground (UST) and above-ground (AST) oil tanks in countless homes, apartment buildings, and factories across Jersey City.

The city’s role as a major industrial hub, with activities like manufacturing and shipping, further increased the use of oil tanks for both heating and industrial processes. Older neighborhoods, many built during this era, still retain these systems, as the cost of converting to natural gas can be prohibitive, especially in lower-income or historic areas.

Additionally, undocumented or abandoned tanks, often left without proper records during property turnovers, contribute to the prevalence, as they are frequently discovered during real estate transactions or renovations, requiring compliance with strict NJDEP and Jersey City Building Department regulations. Some say Steve Rich Environmental has removed the most oil tanks in Jersey city.
