Oregon · DEQ
Follow the leaking-HOT project and its documents. Do not substitute a clean-decommissioning search for a cleanup file.
Before you search
DEQ LUST number if known, house number and street name, approximate incident year.
Bring what you have. Missing identifiers can be part of the route review.In Your DEQ Online Public Records, choose Projects and the Leaking Heating Oil Tank project type. This is a different record family from clean-decommissioning certificates. Keep the project reference alongside any files you obtain.
Official sourceOfficial instructions / record system↗Search by DEQ LUST number or address. The information control shows project details; the PDF control opens available documents. Treat these as candidate records until you compare their identifiers with the property you are researching.
Official sourceOfficial instructions / record system↗Record which report or closure correspondence is missing and follow DEQ's records request instructions. Do not describe a request awaiting response as a completed file search. Our worksheet keeps that pending status distinct from a delivered document.

A matching leaking-HOT project with the cleanup reports and correspondence you actually obtained.
Compare the DEQ LUST/project number, address and dates.
Still missing? Do not treat another project at a similar address as a match.
Separate the cleanup report from final correspondence and laboratory attachments.
Still missing? A project status alone does not show which documents you hold.
Comparison checklist by Oil Tank Route, based on the official routes above. Not an agency certification, document authentication or a property-safety finding.
Your private record worksheet
Prepare search keys here, open the official sources above, then record what happened. Nothing is searched or sent automatically. A postal city or ZIP does not establish legal jurisdiction.
Suggested document scope for this route: the leaking heating oil tank cleanup report, attachments and final correspondence. Narrow this to the files you still need.
Start with the identifiers and first applicable source. An online blank, an inaccessible portal and an agency no-record reply are three different outcomes.
No result is not proof of no tank. A candidate document still needs its property, issuer, dates and stated scope checked.
Review and edit bracketed fields after copying. Use the agency’s current official form, disclosures and fee instructions. Drafted ≠ sent ≠ acknowledged ≠ delivered.
Default: this tab’s session only. Device saving is optional; avoid it on shared devices. No property details enter the page URL or analytics.
Self-service guidance only here. Human research assistance is currently limited to New Jersey and New York.
Make the request specific
Please provide [cleanup report or correspondence] for [property], DEQ LUST/project [number], during [dates]. Documents already located: [list]. Missing documents: [list].
Replace the bracketed fields and follow the agency’s current form, disclosure, and fee instructions. This is a draft, not a sent request.
Case status and a document search are not safety determinations. Active oil or strong odor needs prompt official/professional response, not this paperwork workflow. Self-service only.
Active leak or strong oil odor? Use the safety route. ↗
