Storage tanks in Fremont County
The Division has 228 facilities on the register in Fremont County — 1.2% of the state total — carrying 486 tanks, of which 151 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Fremont County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 52 | 22.8% |
| Lpg Only | 49 | 21.5% |
| Retail Gas Station | 47 | 20.6% |
| Commercial/industrial | 41 | 18.0% |
| State/local Government | 31 | 13.6% |
| Railroad | 2 | 0.9% |
| Petroleum Distributor | 2 | 0.9% |
| Bulk Plant | 1 | 0.4% |
| Federal Government | 1 | 0.4% |
| Emergency Generator Only | 1 | 0.4% |
| Airport | 1 | 0.4% |
1 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 49 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Fremont County
60 of the 228 facilities in Fremont County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 26.3%. 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 Fremont County
100 of the 228 facilities in Fremont County have a release on record — 43.9%. Of those, 8 have one that is not yet closed .
7 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 Fremont County
| City | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Canon City | 140 | 61.4% |
| Florence | 36 | 15.8% |
| Penrose | 22 | 9.6% |
| Cotopaxi | 18 | 7.9% |
| Howard | 6 | 2.6% |
| Coal Creek | 2 | 0.9% |
| Coaldale | 2 | 0.9% |
| Texas Creek | 1 | 0.4% |
| Hillside | 1 | 0.4% |
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.
