>Basically, this document proves that the tank was taken out of use and there are no contaminants in the soil.

I know what you mean, but to clarify for others: You can't get a NFA for removing a tank that didn't leak. Only if it leaked and was cleaned up.

Tbh, especially with the underground tanks, I’ve never once heard of one that hasn’t leaked.

Oh I've been on lots that didn't leak (usually when business was slow, per Murphy's law). Well drained soil, newer tanks, old thick ones. They were out there.
