Crowley Marine Services Nome Fuel Terminal - Nome, Alaska

Crowley Marine Services Nome is a fuel terminal situated at 701 Lomen Ave, Nome, Alaska, in the United States. The facility is operational and serves as a critical fuel storage and distribution point for the Nome area and surrounding regions. As a fuel terminal, it handles the storage and transfer of petroleum products, supporting local energy needs. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which includes 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 terminal's NAICS code 424710 indicates it is involved in petroleum bulk stations and terminals. Given its location in a remote Arctic community, the terminal plays a vital role in ensuring a reliable fuel supply for heating, transportation, and industrial activities. Its operations are essential for the local economy and community resilience, particularly given the logistical challenges of fuel delivery to Nome. The facility's environmental management practices are critical to preventing spills in the sensitive Alaskan environment.

The terminal is located in Nome, Alaska, a coastal community on the Bering Sea. The region's cold climate and permafrost conditions pose unique challenges for fuel storage and handling, increasing the risk of spills and vapor releases. Secondary containment systems and regular inspections are essential to protect the surrounding tundra and marine ecosystems from potential contamination.
