They need to pay upfront for the cleanup.

Exactly. I've got to leave a deposit with my landlord in case I leave a mess when i move out, same should go for these oil companies.

Actually, that's illegal. They can ask for the first month rent early but not a deposit.

Must be nice to live where you do; around here, damage deposits are kept in trust, and returned when you move out, with interest, minus any amount needed to pay for damage repairs.
