Railroad
74 of Colorado’s 19,762 registered facilities fall in this category — 0.4%, carrying 208 tanks of which 18 are in use.
What this category is
Railroad means a category the Division records under this heading.
Bare steel among these
33 of the 74 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 44.6%. That is the material the federal upgrade rules were written to replace: unprotected steel corrodes, and corrosion is how a tank fails.
It describes what a tank is made of, not what condition it is in, and many such tanks are long closed. Why it is still the number to know.

Petroleum releases among these
38 of the 74 facilities among these have a release on record — 51.4%. Of those, 1 have one that is not yet closed .
1 of them still have tanks in use.
Colorado records the stage a cleanup has reached, not merely open or closed — characterisation requested, plan being implemented, state lead. That distinction is the useful part, and it is on each facility’s own record. What each stage means.
A tank on a property in Colorado?
74 facilities are on the Division’s register in Colorado, 1 with a release not yet closed. This site tells you a record exists; it is not an assessment. Tell us the address and we pass the request to environmental consultants and tank contractors working in Colorado.
We take no commission and we recommend no firm. We have no arrangement with any contractor or consultant today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
