Storage tanks in Clear Creek County
The Division has 74 facilities on the register in Clear Creek County — 0.4% of the state total — carrying 211 tanks, of which 74 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Clear Creek County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Gas Station | 26 | 35.1% |
| State/local Government | 13 | 17.6% |
| Other | 12 | 16.2% |
| Lpg Only | 9 | 12.2% |
| Commercial/industrial | 8 | 10.8% |
| Federal Government | 2 | 2.7% |
| Emergency Generator Only | 2 | 2.7% |
| Bulk Plant | 1 | 1.4% |
| Auto Maintenance Facility | 1 | 1.4% |
2 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 9 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Clear Creek County
18 of the 74 facilities in Clear Creek County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 24.3%. 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 Clear Creek County
48 of the 74 facilities in Clear Creek County have a release on record — 64.9%. Of those, 2 have one that is not yet closed , and 1 have one the State is running itself.
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 Clear Creek County
| City | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Idaho Springs | 38 | 51.4% |
| Georgetown | 12 | 16.2% |
| Empire | 9 | 12.2% |
| Dumont | 5 | 6.8% |
| Berthoud Falls | 3 | 4.1% |
| Downieville | 3 | 4.1% |
| Evergreen | 2 | 2.7% |
| Silver Plume | 2 | 2.7% |
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.
