State/local Government in Arapahoe County

107 of the 1,256 tank facilities in Arapahoe County — 8.5% — are recorded as state/local government.

How this group compares

Arapahoe County holds 5.8% of Colorado’s 1,852 state/local government facilities, while holding 6.4% of the register overall — so it is under-represented in this category.

State/local Government means a public body’s own fuel: municipal yards, school districts, state depots.

Between them these facilities carry 291 tanks, of which 85 are still in use.

Bare steel among these

39 of the 107 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 36.4%. 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

69 of the 107 facilities among these have a release on record — 64.5%. 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.
