Buckeye Duck Island Terminal - Fuel Terminal in Trenton, New Jersey

Buckeye Duck Island Terminal is a fuel terminal situated at 1463 Lamberton Road in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey. The facility is operational and serves as a critical node in the regional fuel infrastructure network, handling the storage and transfer of petroleum products. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. The facility's NAICS codes (493190 and 493219) classify it as a petroleum bulk station and terminal, indicating a focus on wholesale fuel distribution. As part of the Buckeye Partners network, this terminal plays a significant role in supplying fuel to the Trenton area and broader Mid-Atlantic region. Its location along the Delaware River provides access to barge and pipeline transport, enhancing its strategic importance for energy logistics. The facility's operations are subject to rigorous safety and environmental standards to prevent spills and protect nearby water resources.

The terminal is located in an industrial area near the Delaware River, which is a sensitive ecological and water resource. Fuel terminals in this region must implement robust secondary containment systems and spill prevention measures to protect aquatic habitats. The proximity to urban areas in Trenton also necessitates vapor recovery systems and air quality controls to minimize emissions. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's SPCC and UST programs ensures that the facility maintains proper leak detection and emergency response protocols.
