I have one of those neighbors. Couple of weeks ago I posted here about
an old abandoned sepic tank caving in. I filled it with bolders,
stones and sand. It is solid so no one will fall in. My neighbor told
me that I should have called clean harbor an have it removed at a huge
cost. The truth is that there is nothing to remove. The steel tank has
disintegrated. There has been no sewage in this tank for over 60
years. Why is this considered a health hazzard? If I try to sell my
house my neighbor will probably mention it to any prospective buyer
(or the person who eventually buys it). I'm not sure how he found out
about it. By the way, I live in New Hampsire. Not sure what the laws
are regarding this.

If you are lucky, you'll out live him and it won't matter. Since it is
filled, I doubt you'd have any problems if he did try to make a stink about
it. No reason to call Clean Harbors and pay a lot of money for nothing.

Part of this thread was one fellow stating he was not about to fill in his
tank, it did not matter, etc. On the news yesterday, a horse fell into an
abandoned tank here in CT. Killingsworth, IIRC. It was quite a project to
get the horse lifted out with a tow truck.
