CHEVRON 1001651 EL SEGUNDO Fuel Terminal in El Segundo, California

CHEVRON 1001651 EL SEGUNDO is a fuel terminal situated in El Segundo, California, within the industrial corridor of Los Angeles County. As a fuel terminal, it plays a key role in the storage and distribution of petroleum products for the Southern California market. The facility is classified under NAICS 424710, which covers petroleum bulk stations and terminals. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to mitigate environmental risks. In California, additional state-level rules from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local air quality management districts apply, focusing on vapor recovery and emissions control. This facility supports the fuel supply chain for the Los Angeles metropolitan area, one of the largest fuel markets in the United States. Its location near major transportation routes and the Port of Los Angeles enhances its logistical importance. The terminal's operational status ensures continued fuel availability for local consumers and businesses, contributing to regional energy security.

The facility is situated in an urban-industrial area near the Pacific coast, with proximity to sensitive receptors such as residential neighborhoods and the El Segundo Blue Butterfly habitat. The region's Mediterranean climate with low rainfall reduces groundwater recharge but increases the risk of vapor emissions. Secondary containment and vapor recovery systems are critical to prevent soil and groundwater contamination from potential spills or leaks.
