Lpg Only in Arapahoe County

88 of the 1,256 tank facilities in Arapahoe County — 7.0% — are recorded as lpg only.

How this group compares

Arapahoe County holds 4.0% of Colorado’s 2,225 lpg only facilities, while holding 6.4% of the register overall — so it is under-represented in this category.

Lpg Only means propane only. LPG tanks are regulated separately from petroleum and behave differently — they are pressure vessels, not buried steel in wet ground.

Between them these facilities carry 127 tanks, of which 16 are still in use.

Bare steel among these

4 of the 88 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 4.5%. 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

9 of the 88 facilities among these have a release on record — 10.2%. Of those, 0 have one that is not yet closed .

None of the open cases is at a facility with tanks still 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.
