Storage tanks in El Paso County
The Division has 1,871 facilities on the register in El Paso County — 9.5% of the state total — carrying 4,411 tanks, of which 1,332 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In El Paso County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 443 | 23.7% |
| Retail Gas Station | 414 | 22.1% |
| Commercial/industrial | 406 | 21.7% |
| Federal Government | 222 | 11.9% |
| Lpg Only | 123 | 6.6% |
| Emergency Generator Only | 101 | 5.4% |
| State/local Government | 98 | 5.2% |
| Airport | 19 | 1.0% |
| Auto Maintenance Facility | 19 | 1.0% |
| Petroleum Distributor | 11 | 0.6% |
| Farm/residential | 7 | 0.4% |
| Bulk Plant | 3 | 0.2% |
101 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 123 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in El Paso County
529 of the 1,871 facilities in El Paso County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 28.3%. 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 El Paso County
874 of the 1,871 facilities in El Paso County have a release on record — 46.7%. Of those, 35 have one that is not yet closed , and 4 have one the State is running itself.
24 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 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.
