Storage tanks in Rio Grande County
The Division has 168 facilities on the register in Rio Grande County — 0.9% of the state total — carrying 443 tanks, of which 107 are still in use.
What kind of sites these are
A tank on this register is not necessarily a filling station. In Rio Grande County the register breaks down as:
| Facility category | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Other | 42 | 25.0% |
| Retail Gas Station | 30 | 17.9% |
| Lpg Only | 29 | 17.3% |
| Commercial/industrial | 28 | 16.7% |
| State/local Government | 23 | 13.7% |
| Farm/residential | 6 | 3.6% |
| Bulk Plant | 4 | 2.4% |
| Airport | 4 | 2.4% |
| Federal Government | 1 | 0.6% |
| Petroleum Distributor | 1 | 0.6% |
0 of them exist only to run a standby generator, and 29 hold propane rather than petroleum. Neither behaves like a petrol station, and neither is what people picture.
Bare steel in Rio Grande County
59 of the 168 facilities in Rio Grande County have at least one tank recorded as asphalt-coated or bare steel — 35.1%. 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 in Rio Grande County
52 of the 168 facilities in Rio Grande County have a release on record — 31.0%. Of those, 2 have one that is not yet closed , and 1 have one the State is running itself.
1 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 Rio Grande County
| City | Facilities | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Monte Vista | 78 | 46.4% |
| Center | 34 | 20.2% |
| South Fork | 29 | 17.3% |
| Del Norte | 26 | 15.5% |
| Homelake | 1 | 0.6% |
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.
