CITGO PETROLEUM TERMINAL - Fuel Terminal in South Portland, Maine

CITGO PETROLEUM TERMINAL is a fuel terminal situated at 102 Mechanic Street in South Portland, Maine, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a critical node in the regional fuel supply chain, handling petroleum products for distribution. The terminal operates under U.S. EPA regulations, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) requirements. Its NAICS code 424710 indicates petroleum bulk stations and terminals, typical of medium to large-scale fuel storage operations. Located in Cumberland County near Portland Harbor, the terminal plays a significant role in supplying fuel to southern Maine and beyond. Its proximity to marine and rail infrastructure supports efficient distribution, while environmental safeguards are essential given the coastal location.

The terminal is situated in an urban-industrial area of South Portland, near Casco Bay and Portland Harbor. This coastal location requires robust spill prevention and secondary containment measures to protect sensitive marine ecosystems. The facility's age and tank integrity are critical factors, as older infrastructure may pose higher risks of leaks or vapor emissions. Regular inspections and compliance with SPCC and UST regulations are essential to mitigate environmental impact.
