Lpg Only in Denver County

167 of the 2,630 tank facilities in Denver County — 6.3% — are recorded as lpg only.

How this group compares

Denver County holds 7.5% of Colorado’s 2,225 lpg only facilities, while holding 13.3% of the register overall — so it is under-represented in this category.

Lpg Only means propane only. LPG tanks are regulated separately from petroleum and behave differently — they are pressure vessels, not buried steel in wet ground.

Between them these facilities carry 361 tanks, of which 15 are still in use.

Bare steel among these

34 of the 167 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 20.4%. 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

49 of the 167 facilities among these have a release on record — 29.3%. 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.
