Retail Gas Station in Denver County

409 of the 2,630 tank facilities in Denver County — 15.6% — are recorded as retail gas station.

How this group compares

Denver County holds 10.1% of Colorado’s 4,046 retail gas station facilities, while holding 13.3% of the register overall — so it is under-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 1,640 tanks, of which 468 are still in use.

Bare steel among these

123 of the 409 facilities among these have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 30.1%. 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

332 of the 409 facilities among these have a release on record — 81.2%. Of those, 35 have one that is not yet closed , and 8 have one the State is running itself.

22 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.
