Donald “Don” DeSandre is the Owner and President of Tank Soilutions, a premier environmental services provider serving Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties in New York. With more than 30 years of hands-on experience across multiple sectors of the construction and environmental industries, Don has built a reputation as a trusted authority on residential and commercial oil tank management, soil remediation, and local regulatory compliance.
Under his leadership, Tank Soilutions has grown into a highly specialized, self-sufficient operation known for its flawless safety record, meticulous workmanship, and unwavering commitment to protecting local properties and the environment.
A Foundation Built on Decades of Construction Expertise
Don’s career spans over three decades, rooted in a comprehensive background in various forms of construction. Before focusing exclusively on environmental services, Don immersed himself in the complexities of structural engineering, heavy excavation, and site development. This extensive construction foundation provided him with a profound understanding of structural integrity, soil mechanics, and the intricate dynamics of property foundations—skills vital for transitioning into the specialized field of underground and above-ground storage tank management.
Recognizing a critical, growing need for qualified, reliable professionals to handle aging fuel infrastructure in New York's Hudson Valley, Don channeled his experience into founding Tank Soilutions. He envisioned a company that could bridge the gap between heavy technical construction and stringent environmental regulation, offering property owners a seamless, stress-free experience.
Driving Environmental Compliance and Meticulous Standards
As President, Don has institutionalized a culture of safety and precision that sets Tank Soilutions apart. The company operates strictly with in-house, fully certified professionals, completely eliminating the use of third-party subcontractors. This policy ensures that every project—from a standard residential above-ground tank replacement to a highly technical underground extraction—is executed to Don’s exact standards.
Don has positioned Tank Soilutions as a leading authority on New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NY DEC) standards. His deep familiarity with municipal permitting and strict environmental regulations has earned the company a flawless record of closed permits and passed inspections across all municipalities they serve. His strategic oversight in environmental mitigation has resulted in a 100% success rate in securing "No Further Action" letters from the NY DEC following soil remediation and oil spill clean-ups.
Holding advanced credentials across major regulatory frameworks—including EPA, New York State, OSHA, and HAZMAT certifications—Don continues to remain active on project sites. This combination of field-tested construction know-how and advanced environmental expertise allows him to accurately diagnose underlying site issues, offer transparent, competitive pricing, and deliver reliable 24/7 emergency response solutions to property owners in crisis.
