Retail Gas Station in Boulder County

159 of the 707 tank facilities in Boulder County — 22.5% — are recorded as retail gas station.

How this group compares

Boulder County holds 3.9% of Colorado’s 4,046 retail gas station facilities, while holding 3.6% of the register overall — so it is over-represented in this category.

Retail Gas Station means a filling station selling fuel to the public — the kind of site most people picture when they hear « storage tank ».

Between them these facilities carry 620 tanks, of which 223 are still in use.

Bare steel among these

42 of the 159 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 26.4%. 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

128 of the 159 facilities among these have a release on record — 80.5%. Of those, 22 have one that is not yet closed , and 2 have one the State is running itself.

17 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.
