Storage tanks in Montrose County
The Division has 246 facilities on the register in Montrose County — 1.2% of the state total — carrying 597 tanks, of which 159 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Montrose County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 57 | 23.2% |
| Lpg Only | 50 | 20.3% |
| Retail Gas Station | 47 | 19.1% |
| Commercial/industrial | 46 | 18.7% |
| State/local Government | 25 | 10.2% |
| Bulk Plant | 7 | 2.8% |
| Federal Government | 4 | 1.6% |
| Airport | 4 | 1.6% |
| Railroad | 2 | 0.8% |
| Petroleum Distributor | 2 | 0.8% |
| Auto Maintenance Facility | 1 | 0.4% |
| Emergency Generator Only | 1 | 0.4% |
1 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 50 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Montrose County
69 of the 246 facilities in Montrose County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 28.0%. 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 Montrose County
107 of the 246 facilities in Montrose County have a release on record — 43.5%. Of those, 10 have one that is not yet closed , and 8 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 Montrose County
| City | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Montrose | 175 | 71.1% |

| Redvale | 3 | 1.2% |
| Paradox | 2 | 0.8% |
| Crawford | 2 | 0.8% |
| Uravan | 2 | 0.8% |
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.
