CITGO/SUNOCO PETROLEUM TERMINAL is a fuel terminal situated at 2201 Southport Ave in Curtis Bay, Maryland, within Baltimore City. This operational facility serves as a key hub for petroleum storage and distribution in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The terminal operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency, including Underground Storage Tank (UST) requirements and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. Its NAICS code 424710 indicates it is classified as a petroleum bulk station and terminal, typically handling large volumes of fuel products with secondary containment and monitoring systems. As a major fuel terminal in the Baltimore Harbor area, this facility plays a critical role in supplying petroleum products to the local and regional market. Its location near industrial zones and waterways requires robust environmental safeguards to prevent spills and protect sensitive receptors in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Located in the industrial Curtis Bay area near the Patapsco River, the terminal operates in a region with sensitive estuarine ecosystems. The facility's fuel storage and transfer activities pose spill and vapor risks, necessitating secondary containment and vapor recovery systems. Proximity to residential areas and waterways underscores the importance of compliance with SPCC and UST regulations to mitigate environmental impact.
