Storage tanks in Bent County
The Division has 45 facilities on the register in Bent County — 0.2% of the state total — carrying 122 tanks, of which 30 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Bent County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Gas Station | 14 | 31.1% |
| Other | 13 | 28.9% |
| State/local Government | 6 | 13.3% |
| Lpg Only | 5 | 11.1% |
| Federal Government | 3 | 6.7% |
| Commercial/industrial | 2 | 4.4% |
| Bulk Plant | 2 | 4.4% |
0 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 5 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Bent County
11 of the 45 facilities in Bent County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 24.4%. 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 in Bent County
21 of the 45 facilities in Bent County have a release on record — 46.7%. 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.

Cities do not get pages of their own: a city page would be a subset of this one, and two pages describing the same facilities is how a site starts repeating itself.
