193 Dock Facility - Fuel Terminal in Gueydan, Louisiana

193 Dock Facility is a fuel terminal situated in Gueydan, Cameron Parish, Louisiana, United States. As a fuel terminal, it serves as a key node in the regional fuel distribution network, handling storage and transfer of petroleum products. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS 424710, which covers petroleum bulk stations and terminals. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. In Louisiana, the Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) oversees compliance with state and federal standards. Located in a rural area of Cameron Parish, the facility is part of the broader fuel infrastructure supporting local agriculture, transportation, and industry. Its proximity to the Gulf Coast region, which is prone to hurricanes and flooding, necessitates robust spill prevention and emergency response measures. The facility contributes to the energy supply chain in southwestern Louisiana.

The facility is located in a low-lying coastal region of Louisiana, an area susceptible to hurricanes, storm surges, and flooding. These natural events increase the risk of spills or releases from fuel storage and handling operations. The surrounding environment includes wetlands and waterways that are sensitive to petroleum contamination. Regulatory requirements such as SPCC plans and secondary containment are critical to minimizing environmental impact.
