Environmental-Res. Fuel Oil Tank

Nuts & Bolts: Zurich North America’s Environmental Group has launched its Home Environmental Protection program, which protects homeowners with residential fuel oil tanks.

It also offers a sub-limit coverage for site restoration after clean up and access to a network of environmental clean up and tank testing professionals.

Dollars: Clean up limit of up to $100,000.

States Available: Currently in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Available throughout the entire Northeast by the end of 2002 and nationwide during 2003.
