AT&T CALIFORNIA - W1202 Fuel Terminal in Clayton, California

AT&T CALIFORNIA - W1202 is a fuel terminal situated at 6191 High Street in Clayton, California. This facility supports telecommunications infrastructure by providing fuel storage for backup power generation. As part of the broader fuel infrastructure network in Contra Costa County, it plays a role in ensuring energy resilience for critical communications services. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response planning to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's design and operational procedures align with California's stringent fuel storage standards, which are among the most comprehensive in the United States. As a fuel terminal serving a major telecommunications provider, this facility contributes to the reliability of communication networks in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its location in a suburban setting requires careful management of vapor emissions and stormwater runoff to protect local water resources. The facility's operational status ensures continued support for emergency backup power systems, which are vital during grid outages or natural disasters.

The facility is located in Clayton, a suburban area in Contra Costa County, near the Mount Diablo foothills. The region experiences a Mediterranean climate with dry summers, increasing the risk of wildfires that could impact fuel storage operations. Proximity to residential areas and sensitive ecosystems, such as local creeks and the Delta watershed, necessitates robust spill prevention and vapor recovery systems. Secondary containment and regular inspections are critical to prevent soil and groundwater contamination from fuel leaks.
