Guide- Guides answer cross-state questions before a single state page can carry the whole answer.
- Removal, leak, and cost guides stay public, but they still send you back to the state page as soon as state rules take over.
- Move from a guide into a state page as soon as location, permits, or reporting language becomes specific.
What we check before we publish guidance.
We read the current state page, PDF, or homeowner guide before we summarize what to do next.
We shape pages around the question people actually have: paperwork, disclosure, sweep timing, closure, or leak risk.
We cut anything that sounds more certain than the public documents support.
This site summarizes public guidance and transaction patterns. It is not a government office, law firm, or environmental consultant.
