Bristol Alliance Fuels LLC / BAF Naknek Terminal - King Salmon, Alaska Fuel Terminal

Bristol Alliance Fuels LLC / BAF Naknek Terminal is a fuel terminal situated at Mile 0.5 Alaska Peninsula Highway in King Salmon, Alaska, within the Bristol Bay Borough. This facility plays a key role in supplying fuel to the remote communities and industries of the Bristol Bay region, including fishing, aviation, and local infrastructure. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's NAICS code 424710 indicates it is a petroleum bulk station, typically handling storage and distribution of fuels. As a fuel terminal in a remote Alaskan location, the facility is critical for energy security in the region. Its proximity to the Bristol Bay watershed, a major salmon fishery, underscores the importance of robust environmental safeguards. The terminal's operational status ensures continued fuel supply for local communities and economic activities.

The facility is located in the Bristol Bay region, an ecologically sensitive area known for its salmon fisheries and pristine watersheds. Fuel terminals in such environments face heightened risks of spills that could impact aquatic ecosystems. Regulatory compliance with SPCC and UST requirements is essential to prevent leaks and ensure secondary containment. The remote location also poses challenges for spill response, making preventive measures critical.
