Storage tanks in Chaffee County
The Division has 187 facilities on the register in Chaffee County — 0.9% of the state total — carrying 456 tanks, of which 122 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Chaffee County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 52 | 27.8% |
| Retail Gas Station | 40 | 21.4% |
| Lpg Only | 35 | 18.7% |
| State/local Government | 29 | 15.5% |
| Commercial/industrial | 21 | 11.2% |
| Bulk Plant | 4 | 2.1% |
| Emergency Generator Only | 2 | 1.1% |
| Farm/residential | 1 | 0.5% |
| Airport | 1 | 0.5% |
| Railroad | 1 | 0.5% |
| Petroleum Distributor | 1 | 0.5% |
2 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 35 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Chaffee County
65 of the 187 facilities in Chaffee County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 34.8%. 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 Chaffee County
93 of the 187 facilities in Chaffee County have a release on record — 49.7%. Of those, 2 have one that is not yet closed .
2 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.
Cities and towns in Chaffee County
| City | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Salida | 92 | 49.2% |
| Buena Vista | 57 | 30.5% |
| Poncha Springs | 19 | 10.2% |
| Nathrop | 10 | 5.3% |
| Granite | 3 | 1.6% |
| Garfield | 3 | 1.6% |
| Monarch | 3 | 1.6% |
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.
